ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The timing of biometric data destruction is controlled entirely by GOAT's instruction to Persona, meaning the biometric identifier persists indefinitely until GOAT initiates the destruction order.

Interpretive note: The excerpt does not specify what triggers GOAT's instruction to destroy, nor any maximum retention period. The canonical claim preserves this indeterminacy by not supplying a timeline.
