If you have oped out, as in your case and mine, the answer is none of your information will be used in this way. It's one setting, it's a complete opt out and you get prominently asked at install time. I've really not got any problem with that.

I don't want any advertising in the software I buy.

Do you? I know the iOS setup wizard asks for analytics, but I don't recall it ever asking whether you want to turn on "limit ad tracking".

I was pretty sure it did, but if not that's even better. I didn't set this manually and it's off, so presumably that's just the default setting.
