Confused By Apple Downloaded Data

I downloaded my data from all of my Apple accounts, and I don't really understand any of it. For example, the file "Apple ID and Account Info.csv" has a ridiculously long number of columns, almost all of which I'm unfamiliar with that don't even show data, with the exception of "Pending" for Cross Border Consent(?!)


Here are some of the column headers:


Account Link Name

Account Link Type

Phonetic Prefix

Phonetic First Name

Phonetic Middle Name

Phonetic Last Name

Phonetic Nickname

Phonetic Title

Phonetic Suffix

Apple ID Alias

Billing Info Phonetic First Name

Billing Info Phonetic Last Name

Shipping Info Phonetic First Name

Shipping Info Phonetic Last Name

Apple Music (?)

Beats Email Subscription (What's Beats?)

Teacher Engagement Program (?)

Compliance Phone (?)

Apple Store App Communications (?)

Recovery Contacts (?)

Recovery ID (?)

Recovery Initiated Device Class

Recovery Initiated Device Locale (?)

Recovery Initiated Client IP (?!)

Beneficiary Contacts

AppleCare+ Communications (?)

Advanced Data Protection - Device IP Address (?)

Advanced Data Protection Data Collection Disclosure (?)

Automatic CAPTCHA Verification (?)

iCloud Cross Border Consent (?)

Apple Cross Border Consent (?)

Hardware Personalization Preference (?)

Services Personalization Preference (?)

Apple Regional Entity Consent (?)


What is all of this stuff and why is it in my account data?

that could be, but the "pending" status for cross-border consent is inaccurate, as i've never even heard of cross-border consent, let alone requested it.
