This provision establishes T-Mobile's operational framework for data lifecycle management, requiring documented retention decisions based on defined criteria rather than indefinite storage. The framework creates institutional constraints on how long customer data remains in active systems.
Users' personal data will be retained according to the retention criteria T-Mobile establishes based on the factors outlined—sensitivity level, risk assessment, purpose necessity, and legal obligations. The terms do not specify fixed retention periods but instead authorize T-Mobile to apply these evaluation criteria to determine appropriate retention windows.
