When does iOS purge local storage?

This documentation: Documentation/Bundle/Resources/Information Property List/Data and storage/NSSupportsPurgeableLocalStorage says:

Property List Key

NSSupportsPurgeableLocalStorage

A Boolean value indicating whether the app continues working if the system purges the local storage.

Under what conditions does the system "[purge] the local storage", and does this mean the entire local storage for the app? I can see how when a user deletes an app the local storage would be deleted, but then the app would not continue working, since it's no longer on the device.

When does iOS purge local storage?
