Hello, in Appstore Connect, it is expected to declare the collected data types. However, there is something that is pretty confusing, namely the definition of "Data Collection". According to the form: Data Collection Thanks for helping users understand your app's privacy practices. Remember that you're responsible for any third-party code that is added to your app, so if your third-party partners collect data from your app, you must represent that in your responses. “Collect” refers to transmitting data off the device in a way that allows you and/or your third-party partners to access it for a period longer than necessary to service the transmitted request in real time. ..... What does the point "longer than necessary" refer to? Obviously, my app is storing data of user to "function". My understanding is, storing data for functionality doesn't mean collecting data. Is this correct? Thank you.

Hello, In my app, I have a timer. When the app is in the foreground, everything is good. Timer runs. When the app goes to background, the timer stops.
