does Hive package store data on Android devices in Cache or Data?

**Question**
Someone asked me this question, and I find it interesting. But I searched and I didn't find the answer. So I'm asking here.

does Hive store data on android as cache or as data? I know the difference between cache and data is that cache is intended for temporary data such as images and posts (in social media platform) while data is for permanent data such as player progress, app settings and so on.

and Hive can store actually the two type of data...

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing Hive's Android storage-location behavior and checking the existing documentation; done means clearly documenting whether stored data belongs in Android cache or app data storage.
