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?

Absolutely delete it. That is deeply invasive. It also means they have enough information to steal your identity and take out loans in your name which you will be responsible for. Don’t just delete it. Zero out ALL its permissions. These are “Sucker” apps.
