Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

User deletion requests may not result in actual deletion if Noom determines legal obligations require retaining the data.

Interpretive note: The excerpt uses 'may be legal reasons,' which is permissive and non-exhaustive. The law enforcement example is illustrative, not an exhaustive list of legal bases for retention. The clause does not define when or how Noom determines a legal reason exists.
