I think the tweet about the NHS app(s) is slightly misleading. I’m pretty confident those screenshots relate to two separate apps: one is a general health services app which can also be used to generate a certificate of vaccination (as the app has access to health records). The second screenshot relates to a covid-specific app which enables “check-ins” at venues for contact-tracing purposes, and the statement there seems to be declaring that the local information listing venues visited could—in theory—be used to get demographic information.
One is called the “NHS App” and the other is called the “NHS Covid 19 App” so it’s an understandable confusion.

Yep, I’m removing it to be safe.
