SDK information logs can contain complete payment records, and reviewed wallets retain or forward those logs
Breez emits complete Payment debug objects at INFO. Blink forwards SDK INFO and WARN lines to Crashlytics logging, while Cake appends SDK logs to a plaintext file, creating diagnostic copies with different retention and access paths. 123

Interpretation
Why this matters for Spark's trust model
Payment data can leave the wallet database and enter diagnostic, crash-reporting, or export surfaces with different retention and access rules. 123
This section states the trust-model consequence of the cited evidence. Conditional or inferred claims remain bounded by the next section.
