The official Mastodon app (and most other Fediverse apps) do not collect any data about you.
When you sign up on a Fediverse server, it asks for the minimum amount of information (an email address and a password) and none of this info goes to the app or app makers.
This is in stark contrast to other social networks which seem to collect lots of personal info. See the attached image for a comparison of the privacy policies of various official social network apps.

@[email protected] I’m not sure to understand from where that data comes from. Do you have the original link somewhere ?
@spokeek @FediTips These appear to be screenshots from Apple’s app store. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bluesky-social/id6444370199
@baralheia @FediTips Nice, wouldn’t have known. Thank you a lot.

Yup, they’re all Apple app store screenshots taken today. For example if you search for instagram app store you will get a link to https://apps.apple.com/app/instagram/id389801252
