This clause limits ADP's data retention to what is necessary for specified purposes, constraining indefinite or open-ended storage of personal data.
ADP deleted the cookie preference management tool that previously allowed users to understand and control which cookies were placed on their devices, including functional, analytics, and advertising cookies.
