> Pushin doesn't track anything beyond the obvious: email, password hash, username, whatever information you put on your profile

This seems poorly worded or genuinely concerning. Why do you want to track my email, username or anything in my profile. What do you do with it? How do you track it?

"Track" means "store" here and we need to store it for authentication (email+password hash) and to show your public profile (e.g. https://pushin.eu/pjullrich). So, regular things, not tracking you for data mining stuff

Those two words are not synonymous. But anycase you should be adding a tos and privacy policy on your website.

Track doesn’t mean store.

The word you are looking for is “collect”.

Saying you “track” implies you’re putting together a profile to be consumed in other services
