Unless otherwise specified or specified in this Privacy Policy, the personal information collected by this APP will be retained until you request that we delete it, revoke your consent to store it or omit you from the purpose of said data storage. If there is a legal obligation to store data or any other legally justified reason for storing the data (e.g. legitimate interest), the personal data concerned will not be deleted before the respective reason for data storage ceases.
