This move aligns with core data protection principles like data minimization and storage limitation, key tenets under the DPDP Act 2023 for Data Fiduciaries. While primarily a user control feature, it underscores the growing industry emphasis on reducing data retention, a practice all Indian businesses must now evaluate under Section 8 — Data Fiduciary obligations.
