Greetings Markus!
-
Data should only be retained for as long as necessary to perform the service. This question is intended to confirm this with the developer by asking them to attest that this is accurate for their app offering. If a developer cannot attest, we ask them to explain why they retain data for longer than is necessary for the use case described.
-
‘As long as necessary’ to perform the app’s functions and other purposes the developer has disclosed.
-
If an app is removed by the user and the associated data is no longer required to perform the service, the data should be removed and handled in line with what the app developer discloses to its users in its privacy statement and/or other documentation.
-
The questions are intended to be specific as possible yet broad enough to cover the range of app submissions we may receive
Please let me know if you have further questions or suggestions for clarity.
