Showing ACF fields in plugin

I have a local plugin where I can use a shortcode on a page to show a userlist with selected information. Previously I have used the plugin Cimy Extra Fields but this does not work anymore.

So I installed ACF and created a field group with the user fields I need. But I can’t seem to reach the data in the plugin. In the doc it says to use $post_id (get_field/the_field) but which id should I use when the data is not stored on a post but with the user data.

The fields are shown correctly for the users in the WP backend user admin.

The post id will be “user_{$user_id}”
