The clause ties the Biometric Data retention period directly to the Avatar's availability, meaning the data persists as long as the Avatar does unless the Customer intervenes.

How other platforms handle this
We may retain your Personal Data for a period of time consistent with the original purpose of collection...or as long as required to fulfill our legal and/or regulatory obligations.
We keep your personal information where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with our Services or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
Any biometric data we collect from you will be deleted within 48 hours and will be used for the purpose of enabling you to see yourself wearing virtual eyeglass frames.
