I'd say blood type and sex life, but that's probably under the "other information" category.

They definitely want to know about your sex life. Advertisers want to target pregnant/expecting women, happily married people, unhappily married people, men in dry spells, gay men, lesbians, kinksters and so on. Even if they're not marketing sexual products, advertisers will want to target those groups.

I know I know... joking but not joking, there. What else should we expect from the company that tried to intentionally induce depression in users just to see if they could?

Well, blood type can be set under Health in iOS, so they‘ll probably know at least that since they ask for Health & Fitness info.

Blood type: Caffeinated.

If that's not an option, I don't want to play.
