This provision establishes the retention framework governing personal data storage duration and creates a mechanism for users to initiate deletion requests. The operational significance lies in defining both the default retention standard (service necessity and legal requirement) and the procedural pathway for deletion.
Users operate under a retention model where data persists for service delivery and compliance purposes unless a deletion request is submitted. The provision establishes that deletion is discretionary and initiated by user request rather than automatic.
