This sets an outer retention limit tied to the purposes stated in the notice, bounding how long personal information may be held under those purposes.
Interpretive note: The clause is framed as a statement about what purposes 'require' rather than an absolute cap on retention, which may leave open retention under bases not described as 'purposes in this notice.'
