GDPR does not concern itself only with person-identitifying information, it concerns itself with "personal data" which is defined as "any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person". [1]
The GDPR definition of personal data is VERY broad, and it explicitly includes things like:
* name, email, date of birth, etc (probably no surprise here)
* any user behaviour (what you look at, what you click on)
* uploaded content (what you write, your uploaded avatar etc)
* ip addresses, device ids
* beliefs, ethnicity, sexuality, health data (additional restrictions apply here)
* biometric data, genetic data (additional restrictions apply here)
