All and any.
That includes IP addresses (just connecting to a socket without a user explicitly starting that action), names, emails, hashed IPs, it includes usernames, CC data, messages, interactions with webpages.
Anything that in any way is connected to a person is covered by this.
This directive is also the origin of the cookie disclaimers, which require opt-in before collecting statistics or loading any third party tracking solution.
