Global Data: This data is available on a large scale, that is, it is
available to your application regardless of where it is placed. For
instance, if Jane and Jill both place your game application on their
profile, the global data set and retrieved will be exactly the same
for both Jane and Jill's copy of the game. This could be useful for
storing something like High Scores.

Instance Data: This data is available only to the specific copy
(instance) of the game (app). So if Jane and Jill both place your game
on their profile, the game will be able to store unique data. In this
case, Jane's game cannot access Jill's game's unique data storage
(instance Data) and likewise. An example use for this may be if a game
requires the 'state' of the game to be saved or you would like to keep
High Scores separated for each instance.

Person App Data: relates to a data store for an individual with
relation to the app on a global scale. Meaning that both Jill and
Jane's copy of the game will be able to access the same data for a
Person, but other applications will not have access to your
application's data for that person. The key here is that you're
storing data under a person with relation to an app. So if you try to
access that data for the same person from a different app, it won't
exist. An example use would be 'High Scores for Jill' (or jane), or
allowing users to save their game.
