+      <h1>Delete a Connect account</h1>
+      <p>
+        Permanently delete your mdbase Connect account and hosted data. These
+        steps also apply if you use mdbase Connect through TaskNotes.
+      </p>
+      <div class="button-row">
+        <a
+          class="button button--primary"
+          href="https://editor.mdbase.dev/connect/account"
+        >Open Connect account settings</a>

+
+    <h2>How to delete your account</h2>
+    <ol>
+      <li>
+        Open <a href="https://editor.mdbase.dev/connect/account"
+          >Connect account settings</a
+        > and sign in to the mdbase Connect account you want to delete. TaskNotes
+        users should sign in with the Connect account linked to TaskNotes.
+      </li>
+      <li>Choose <strong>Delete account</strong>.</li>
+      <li>Reauthenticate when prompted.</li>
+      <li>
+        Type <strong>DELETE</strong>, then confirm the permanent account deletion.
+      </li>
+    </ol>
+
+    <h2>Data that is deleted</h2>
+    <p>Deleting your mdbase Connect account permanently removes:</p>
+    <ul>
+      <li>Your Connect account and sign-in methods.</li>
+      <li>Browser sessions.</li>
+      <li>
+        Application access and grants, including access previously granted to
+        TaskNotes.
+      </li>
+      <li>Connected computers.</li>
+      <li>
+        Hosted collections and the records, files, and other hosted data stored
+        in them.
+      </li>
+    </ul>
+    <p>
+      Hosted access and control-plane state are removed immediately. Durable
+      cleanup of hosted data then continues automatically in the background.
+    </p>
+
+    <h2>Data that is not deleted or may be retained</h2>
+    <ul>
+      <li>
+        Local collection and mirror files on your own computers are not deleted.
+        Delete those local copies yourself if you no longer want them.
+      </li>
+      <li>
+        Security or audit records necessary to document the deletion, prevent
+        abuse, or meet legal obligations may remain. During the open beta,
+        mdbase Connect does not promise a fixed retention period for these
+        records.
+      </li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <h2>Delete data without deleting your account</h2>
+    <p>
+      You can delete individual records or files, or delete individual hosted
+      collections, without deleting your mdbase Connect account. Use the
+      relevant application or collection-management controls to remove only the
+      data you choose.
