A private company without a court order has no right to log the user's activities, worse if this is done by an app that precisely must safeguard the user's privacy, such as a VPN. It is not only privacy that is in question with the practice of surveillance advertising and data logs, this can even be synonymous with security problems, as already shown by dozens of cases of sensitive data leaked from hundreds of thousands of users, including bank details and physicians from companies that use these practices. It is a difference between a soft or app receiving technical feedback on its operation and a very different one that this app records your activities and histories in order to earn money with it, selling this data to third parties, just as many 'free' VPNs do, thus distorting its own operation, which in certain countries can even put the user's life at risk. I don't think they will ban you, but inform yourself about this problem first, which apparently you haven't understood.
yes i didnt, apparently
