Nothing. data-* is a custom data attribute you can use to store whatever you like. https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/10/using-data-attributes-in-javascript-and-css/. Essentially it's a simple way to store data to be used by scripts.

As the W3 states:

Custom data attributes are intended to store custom data private to the page or application, for which there are no more appropriate attributes or elements.
