if you previously bought more than one ticket they only had your info. If you buy more than one ticket, unless you all enter together, they will have info on each ticket user as you have to register to allow easy ticket transfer. If you bring different people to some games, unless you all enter together, they will have info on those people too as they will also have to register for easy ticket transfer.
I buy a pair of tickets and even though we usually enter and exit together sometimes we do not so my second person had to create an account and download the app and then "unsubscribe" from Stanford marketing emails, if they share the info with others (and I don't know if they do) then those entities can "market" to her as well.
For anyone who does register they have at least your name, email, and phone number. The email and phone number need to work to transfer the tix, I guess you could use disposable info for these as well as a fake name but most won't want to do that. They will also know which games you go to, if you go in and out at halftime (assuming they continue to allow in and out privileges and the scanners are working) and may be able to link you to buying concessions if that gets tied into the app so then they know what you like to eat and drink and can use that to market to you. It goes on and on.....
