Using not described parameters in measurement protocol

Question

Is a transfer of parameters tel and email that aren't part of Measurement Protocol and aren't described in docs, the identificational data upload ?

For example:

https://www.google-analytics.com/collect?dh=example.com&cid=000000000.0000000000&ea=Trigger&ec=MyEventCategory&t=event&v=1&tid=UA-XXXXXX1-0&dp=index.html&tel=XXXXXXXXXXX&email=email@example.com

this question is quite clear as it is what exactly do you think needs updating? — Linda Lawton - DaImTo, Feb 20 '18 at 21:12
Unknown parameters will be ignored. You could send custom dimensions, but as DalmTo pointed out that would violate TOS. — Eike Pierstorff, Feb 21 '18 at 10:28

you are not allowed to send user identifiable information to Google analytics like email or phone number.

Caution: You may not upload any data that allows Google to personally identify an individual (such as names and email addresses), even in hashed form. See the Measurement Protocol Policy for more details.

please see Measurement protocol email and policy details

the only parameters you can send can be found in the docs
