The claim establishes that the retention limitation is conditional on applicable law requiring it, meaning the obligation to limit retention does not apply universally but only where law mandates it.
Interpretive note: The conditional qualifier 'Where required under applicable laws' is material—it limits the scope of the retention obligation and is preserved in all fields.
Where applicable laws require it, your personal information will be kept by PlanetScale only as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected, consistent with its retention policies.
