Why do you need to share HIV/status as part of performance analysis of a web portal or app?

So it looks like the requests go to profile.localytics.com which is the API used for https://www.localytics.com/profiles/.

So not used for performance, but instead "A people-centered and personalized approach to app marketing and analytics". I am not sure if this is better or worse.

Drugs marketing, supplements? I'm sure there's stuff you can sell more easilly to HIV positive people.
