If they do, what kind of information/data is it? Just the audio of the pilot communicating with the ground, or do modern warplanes have functionality that keeps record of gps location and timestamp of dropped bombs?

Yes the data is stored digitally. One reason for this, and one reason we know it is, is that cluster munitions have the potential to leave one or more submunitions unexploded, which then becomes a risk to civilians after the hostilities have ended.
At which time the US will know exactly when and where each of these munitions was dropped. So either we can go in and clean up, or we can hand that information to whoever the locals might be.
