I mean...they tell you they do in the listing in the AppStore. Like, how are you not realizing this?

How though? My phone does not contain my address, or my credit card number.

Of course they list those things as things the app 'collects,' because the app literally asks you for all that info as billing info when you buy tickets in that app and when you provide it, it collects it. The app isn't somehow extracting your personal info from some API. Yes, it's probably got the same adtech as the next app, but overall it's just collecting what you tell it.
