summary
Offboarding is treated as a product-design problem constrained by law and legal requirements: companies must allow easy contract termination and document which steps are essential. Concrete solutions include offering a pause or a delete-with-data-export option, using a confirmation email as legally valid, showing clear timelines (e.g., preserving preferences for 10 months), avoiding dark patterns like multi-page traps, mapping all exit moments with service and legal teams, and building a single mobile-friendly flow tested with variations (one food-box case used instant pause/resume plus confirmation).
