CenarioVR Local Content Retention and Data Persistence


Overview

CenarioVR is designed to ensure that local content is retained for an optimal user experience. To achieve this, we have implemented all available features to preserve CVR-specific data by saving it within the designated persistent data path. This mechanism is intended to keep your data intact in most usage scenarios.

How Data Persistence Works

  • Persistent Data Path:
    CVR-specific data is stored in a persistent data path provided by the device’s file system. This location is chosen specifically for its ability to retain data across sessions and app updates, reducing the likelihood of unintended data loss.

  • Retention Assurance:
    By leveraging the persistent data path, CenarioVR ensures that local content is maintained reliably, even if the application is closed or the device is restarted. This approach maximizes data retention and minimizes disruptions to your content.

Operating System Memory Management

While CenarioVR takes every measure to secure your local content, it is important to note that:

  • OS-Level Management:
    Memory management is ultimately controlled by the device’s operating system. In rare circumstances, the operating system may delete files from the persistent data path to free up memory, especially when the device is experiencing low storage conditions.

  • Frequency of Deletion:
    Such deletions are uncommon. The system prioritizes user data and generally preserves files stored in the persistent data path unless there is an urgent need to reclaim memory.

Best Practices

To ensure the highest level of data retention, consider the following best practices:

  • Monitor Device Storage:
    Regularly check your device’s available memory. Ensuring sufficient free space can help prevent the operating system from initiating memory cleanup processes that might affect local content.

  • Backup Important Data:
    Although the persistence mechanism is robust, it is always a good idea to back up critical data externally or via cloud-based solutions where possible.

  • Update Your Device:
    Keep your device’s operating system up to date to benefit from the latest improvements in memory management and data handling.

Summary

CenarioVR has implemented comprehensive measures to preserve local content by saving CVR-specific data in a persistent data path. This setup ensures data retention under most conditions. However, since the device’s operating system manages memory, there is a small possibility that files might be deleted in low-memory situations. By following best practices, you can help ensure your content remains secure.
