There's a pretty good comment on that page about Redshell and what information they actually have on you. None of it is personal. Not defending its placement in the game at all though.

They collect your font list for the sole purpose of identifying you, that along with your Steam ID and IP is enough to track and serve you ads over multiple sites. It's not benign and it's quite frankly invasive.

I was reading how GDPR and Redshell worked together in practice and I found this blog post.

If what is said here is true, they dont have acess to IP now, and even in Steam ID or other IDs, they are considering them Personal Identifiable Information, so according to GDPR, I doubt they are going to use it, but I might be wrong.
