This site goes over the general facts about NSA surveillance programs. It describes the basic metadata that is collected for US phone calls:"the telephone number of the phones making and receiving the call, and how long the call lasted."

It also mentions the program XKEYSCORE which gathers massive amounts of data from internet traffic.
