This provision establishes SimpliSafe's data retention framework by tying retention periods to operational necessity and legal obligation, rather than specifying fixed retention windows. The clause authorizes extended retention post-relationship termination but does not quantify that extension period, creating ongoing data holding authority subject to unstated parameters.
Users' personal information remains in SimpliSafe's systems throughout their account tenure and for an unspecified period thereafter. The terms do not establish a defined deletion timeline or user-initiated deletion mechanism within this clause, meaning data persistence is governed by SimpliSafe's assessment of necessity and legal requirements rather than explicit temporal limits.
