Place details - Attributes eligible for permanent storage in database

https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/details provides various details of Places.

Apart from place_id, is it legal to store any other attributes of Place API in permanent storage ( database etc)?

According to the Google Maps Platform Terms of Service section 3.2.4(a)

Customer may cache limited amounts of Google Maps Content if cache: (a) is only for the purpose of improving Customer Application performance due to network latency, or intermittent connectivity; (b) is secure; (c) is stored for less than 30 consecutive calendar days; (d) is not redistributed; (e) does not prevent Google from accurately calculating Customer's Service usage levels; (f) does not modify attribution in any way; and (g) does not manipulate or aggregate any part of the Google Maps Content or Services.

Place IDs are exempt from 3.2.4(a)

Place IDs are exempt from the caching restrictions stated in Section 3.2.4(a) of the Google Maps Platform Terms of Service. You can therefore store place ID values for later use.

"Apart from place_id, is it legal to store any other attributes of Place API in permanent storage ( database etc)?"

Apparently, the answer is no.
