VPN use should warrant the same privacy concerns. They can tell they respect your privacy all they want, nobody can control that.

And they've got a huge incentive to sellling your data.

Privateinternetaccess.com's VPN servers log nothing, and run their entire systems in RAM. If you want a VPN that's truly private, use them. They can't sell your data, because they retain nothing to sell.
