I'm by no means an expert at this, but I know as much that data IS still being collected. As mentioned, GDPR covers mostly non-anonymous data (and being clear what the data is being used for).
 
I looked into this a bit more, and this part of the Policy is relevant:
"Data we collect when you use our Services or games:
...
  • Steam ID, PSN ID, Gamertag/Xbox ID, IDFA (iOS), Advertiser ID (Android) or other game platform IDs like IP address, Google Play Advertising ID, Windows Phone Device ID, Twitch user ID, GOG ID or MAC address"
So the data is not anonymous as we collect your Steam ID. However, nothing about our data collection has changed, now it is simply clearer what data we collect, and why.
 
We've made several changes to how we collect, process and store your data. In some cases we have stopped using solutions and partners altogether, in other cases we've made changes to further anonymize or "silo" the data, and furthermore we have left it as is to be able to provide online services like cloud saves, ownership etc where we think it's necessary to know which account has the right to access the data. To go through all the details here is not feasible, but we operate solely based on your trust and therefore try to be as transparent as possible.

There are several threads and statements/announcements revolving around our data practices, here are just a couple of examples;

There's even more if you search the forum.
