Catching up with the WG.

And yes, I feel that it strongly contributes to the compliance
standard's credibility if any access and use of data retained under
permitted uses is auditable. I would be fine by restricting its
auditability to data protection and/or consumer rights regulators or
similar governmental entities.

If you commit to limiting your use of certain personal data for
certain circumscribed purposes, you create a burden of proof for
yourself that you have indeed done so. Audit requirements can only be
helpful in that regard.
