## Response `200`

- ContactDeleteResponse
  - `email` string, email, required
  - `deleted` boolean, required

## Other responses

- `401` — The API key was missing, invalid, or revoked.
- `403` — The caller does not have the required `contacts` permission.
- `429` — The request hit the rolling rate limit window.
- `500` — Unexpected internal error.
