+If you want to take a break from Fluxer or leave the platform entirely, you can either disable or delete your account. Here's what each option does and how to access them.
+
+## How to access account options
+
+1. Log in to your Fluxer account at [web.fluxer.app/login](https://web.fluxer.app/login).
+2. Press the cogwheel icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen to open Settings.
+3. Navigate to **Security & Login**.
+4. Choose either **Delete account** or **Disable account**.
+
+## Deleting your account
+
+Deleting your account schedules a permanent deletion in **14 days**. During this period, you can cancel the pending deletion by logging into your account again.
+
+After the 14-day period, your account and associated data will be permanently removed and cannot be recovered.
+
+**Important**: Accounts are automatically deleted if they remain inactive for 2 years.
+
+### What happens to your messages
+
+When you delete your account, all your messages will remain on the platform unless you delete them first. You have several options:
+
+- **Delete all messages**: Use the Privacy Dashboard to delete all your messages at once. See our guide on <% article 1445730947679911936 %> for detailed instructions.
+- **Export your data first**: Before deleting messages, you may want to export your data to keep a personal backup. Learn more about <% article 1445731738851475456 %>.
+- **Request specific data deletion**: Contact **privacy@fluxer.app** from your registered email address if you want to delete specific data without deleting everything.
+
+**Important**: You cannot delete your messages after you've deleted your account. Be sure to handle your data before initiating account deletion.
+
+## Disabling your account
+
+Disabling your account simply logs you out of all devices. Your account remains on the platform but is inaccessible until you log in again.
+
+You can log in at any time in the future to re-enable your account and pick up where you left off.
+
+## Summary
+
+| Option | What it does | Reversible? |
+|--------|--------------|-------------|
+| **Disable account** | Logs you out of all devices | Yes, log in to re-enable |
+| **Delete account** | Schedules permanent deletion in 14 days | Yes, within 14 days by logging in |
+| **Data management** | Export or delete your messages and data | See linked guides |
