Could you please explain what "personal or sensitive info" means?

Name, address, phone number, Bank info, nude photos of yourself, etc. If the info being released could harm you or in some way negatively impact your life, assume it would be sent to China or anywhere else on the world wide web if you ran it without following the previous guidelines.

Any data related to your person. (name, contacts, date of birth, etc.) Search "PII" or "personally identifiable information" if you want to read more about that.
