I’ve had a game I’ve been playing on my phone for a year or so now. I noticed they made a sequel and checked it out. Now that the Apple App Store shows you pretty plainly an idea of what data the apps mine, I checked out the one I’ve had for a while. Reading their privacy policy, they state they have collected users basic info- name, email, phone number- but also information like drivers license and social security numbers. Am I screwed? Do I delete the app?

Sure you can uninstall the app to prevent it from getting new information.but the old info of you is still out there.
If you’re in the EU you can request they give you all the data they have on you and delete it.
They sell this data though, so to truly delete everything you’d probably have to track down who they sold it to, and repeat the process.
This is of course infeasible and many may just ignore you or outright deny you
