These are platform specific data for OpenSea, not part of the collection contract. Meaning they are not stored onchain.

So without knowing source codes of the OpenSea platform, we can only guess the exact location where the data is stored, but my educated guess is a relational DB (e.g. PostgreSQL, MariaDB, ...).
