To be fair, I wouldn't really count on a VPN not collecting logs - if I can't check it, better assume they're collected. This may not matter as much, but I still wouldn't rely on this for anything sensitive.
Also, the free VPNs can harm you in more ways than just selling your traffic logs, such as making you a part of a proxy botnet.
