It's also the metadata. Profile and contact discovery is also private. I don't think they have anything except your IP.

Seal sender is a nice idea, but since you can easily run timing attacks on centralised infrastructure it is pointless for Signal, or rather you have to trust them that their infrastructure is not compromised.

They also store device ids for push notifications via Google/Apple.
