It is the policy you have agreed to when submitting your package to CRAN: "CRAN Repository Policy [...] The code and examples provided in a package should never do anything which might be regarded as malicious or anti-social. The following are illustrative examples from past experience. [...] - Packages should not write in the user’s home filespace (including clipboards), nor anywhere else on the file system apart from the R session’s temporary directory. [...] For R version 4.0 or later (hence a version dependency is required or only conditional use is possible), packages may store user-specific data, configuration and cache files in their respective user directories obtained from tools::R_user_dir(), provided that by default sizes are kept as small as possible and the contents are actively managed (including removing outdated material).
