Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

The retention period is not fixed and extends beyond active use of the Services if law or legitimate business or commercial purposes require it, meaning personal information may be held indefinitely under those grounds.

⚠

Interpretive note: The excerpt uses an ellipsis, suggesting text may have been omitted between the 'required by law' and 'legitimate business or commercial purposes' grounds. The full scope of retention bases may be broader than what is captured here.
