For explaining the some terms above more in depth, we wanted to write the following further explanations.

Shared means that this data is transferred to a third party, either on or off the user's device. Processing data "ephemerally" means accessing and using data while it is only stored in memory, and is retained for no longer than necessary to service the specific request in real-time. App functionality means that used for features in your app. For example, to enable functionality, or authenticate users. Analytics means that used to collect data about how users use your app, or how your app performs. For example, to see how many users are using a particular feature, to monitor app health, to diagnose and fix bugs or crashes, or to make future performance improvements. Personalization means that used to customize your app, such as showing recommended content or suggestions. For example, suggesting playlists based on users' listening habits, or delivering local news based on a user's location.

For example, to enable users to create accounts; to add information to accounts you provide, for use across your services; to log in to your app; or to verify their credentials.
