Those reasons are identified by the Customer and Entrust relies on them to tell Entrust when they no longer need to store the personal information Entrust has collected on their behalf, subject to maximum retention periods imposed by applicable laws or defined by Data Providers or by Entrust. (For example, the Onfido Facial Scan and Voice Recording Policy explains that the maximum period of time for which Entrust will retain photos/videos (including audio recordings) is three (3) years following submission of the photos/videos. Where Entrust has a legitimate legal reason, it may store personal information for longer than described above (e.g., where it is under a binding legal order not to destroy information).
