Shein now collects whether biometric login is enabled on your device
The Device/Online Identifiers category now includes a device security configuration status, a 0/1 flag showing whether fingerprint or facial recognition is set up on your device. The policy says no biometric data itself is collected. Like the rest of that category, it is listed as used for targeted advertising.
