per oauth spec you get told what is shared. usually it’s just your user id (which often is email or username), i haven’t seen crazy scopes in the wild in a while

Some services even have an option to only share a dummy email and not your real. Apple for example does this, so all the site gets is “36382618161@apple.com” (don’t know the exact format). And it is only tied to your real email address on apple’s side
