Important Considerations 

                1. The Image size should not exceed 300KB
                2. Max 5 additional fields other than Name, Password, and Email can be added to your signup custom form. 
                3. Once the user account is created, details such as Name, email Id and phone number with country code are stored in the user's profile which is accessible under the Users section on the dashboard.
                4. Consent captured via checkbox is not stored in the user's database. 
                5. Users would be able to change their contact information from their profile section.
                6. Publishers would be able to export the data of these additional custom fields from the users' section except the checkbox based consent data since that is not stored.
                7. When you delete any custom field, make sure to backup users’ info, because this action would erase the data (only custom field data).
