+Fluxer gives you control over your data. You can delete your messages and other content at any time through the Privacy Dashboard or by contacting our privacy team.
+
+## What happens to your messages
+
+When you delete your account, all your messages will remain on the platform unless you opt to delete them first. We provide several ways to delete your messages:
+
+### Delete all messages through Privacy Dashboard
+
+The quickest way to delete all your messages is through the Privacy Dashboard:
+
+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 to open Settings.
+3. Navigate to **Privacy Dashboard**.
+4. Select the **Data Deletion** tab.
+5. Click **Delete all my messages**.
+
+Mass-deletion requests are processed in the background and will complete fully as soon as possible, relative to the total volume of messages you have sent.
+
+### Request specific data deletion
+
+If you want to delete specific data without deleting all your messages, you can email **privacy@fluxer.app** from your account's registered email address. Our privacy team will process your request and assist you with deleting the specific data you indicate.
+
+## Important information
+
+### Attachments and deletion
+
+When you delete a message containing attachments, the attachments will also be deleted. If you wish to keep your attachments, make sure to <% article 1445731738851475456 %> before deleting messages. Attachments also expire based on size; see <% article 1447193503661555712 %> for how long links last and how to extend them.
+
+### Timing matters
+
+You cannot delete your messages after you've deleted your account. If you want to remove your messages from the platform, be sure to do it before initiating account deletion.
+
+For more information about account deletion, see our guide on <% article 1445724566704881664 %>.
+
+## Automatic account deletion
+
+Accounts are automatically deleted if they remain inactive for 2 years. This helps us maintain platform security and manage resources efficiently.
