      No. They use your phone number as your identifier (unfortunately, probably for spam evasion) and the only piece of metadata they keep is the last time that # connected to the server.

      We know this because Signal has disclosed subpoenas publicly.

      Side note

      No its not.

      …and? My question remains.
