Description

We can see such data as "Default Display Name", "Preffered Pronouns", "Bio" in #70. Matrix doesn't have these on protocol level, but they can be [arbitrarily added to user's key/value storage](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/#profiles) without the need for such room as of type `org.matrix.msc3815.profile` (but it's most needed for storing avatar attachments, see #379).

You can even choose between public and private storage. Public key/value storage may be used for bio, preferred pronouns, and etc. Private - for Third Room preferences synchronized between devices/browsers.
