It's pedantic, but you are not your computer. They don't collect (according to them) PII other than phone numbers.
I was diagnosing a network bottleneck at a customer site that didn't make any sense. Literally everything had gigabit connections except one block of cubicles, but all the devices were connected to the same subnet router for that part of the building. Started tracing wires like you did and found that someone didn't have a long enough cable when building the office and installed a 10 megabit linksys switch in the drop ceiling to connect two short cables. Rather than fix the cable, the customer just went to Best buy and bought a gigabit Linksys switch to replace it... A multi-million dollar operation is being held together by a $10 switch...
- Your Device's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), - absolutely necessary for anti-ddos techniques
- browser type, browser version, - necessary for UX to build a functional website for the browsers that customers actually use
- the pages of our Service that You visit, the time and date of Your visit, the time spent on those pages, - critical for determining what is popular and what isn't to improve how the interface is designed and what parts are pulled forward and what parts are hidden in menus
- unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data. - useful for determining how often you switch devices and the performance and other experience metrics to drive making the app more user friendly

The audio in this game really seals the deal. You're just swimming along collecting resources and hear a terrifying roar. But you look around and can't see where it came from... Do you keep going or nope the fuck outta there and go take a breather in your life pod for 20 mins while your heart rate comes back down?
/s, hey, you dropped this
