Mini apps get your IP address and may get basic Telegram profile data
When you use a Mini App, it automatically acquires your IP address. Depending on which Mini App you use and how it was opened, Telegram may also share some basic data with it: your Telegram user ID, public name, username and profile picture, the language tag of your app, your Premium subscription status and some color settings for your in-app theme. By using the feature you expressly acknowledge that this data will be shared with the Service Provider that runs the Mini App you choose to open.
