Why is my iCloud data appearing on one of my family member devices?

My wife and I are in a 'Family'. We have separate iCloud accounts. She is logged into her device with her iCloud account, and I with mine.


However, she sees my photos showing up in 'memories' - photos that are not in any shared album.


Under 'news' she seems my Topics.


Under 'calendar' she sees birthdays that are in my calendars.


Two things worth a mention in case they are related:

I allowed her to use an iPad of mine. I signed out of iCloud. She signed in with her iCloud credentials.


We also have shared iCloud+ storage.


Any obvious things to check for, or suggestions on how to fix?

iPhone 13, iOS 17

Is there any known trick or support appetite for addressing this at the data level? Running script to remove the offending metadata from the photo (assuming one copy maintained) or remove all photos in her displayed library that are my photos aka have my unique id in the storage address.


the alternative is horrible and practically impossible via a manual delete


thanks for the response btw.
