Overview
Yes and no. Many VPNs will market themselves and claim to be free on the surface, but in reality they aren't really free. They will secretly collect information about you and your device, and sell it to advertisers.

What's the difference?
Free VPNs will try to collect your personal details such as your browsing history, email accounts, and contacts, and then sell this information to third-parties. This is how they are able to keep their service "free" and pay for their servers, support team, etc.. Just like any other business, they have traditional expenses.
It doesn't only apply to VPNs, it is a very common tactic of other free apps as well. They will either try to collect your data, or they will display obnoxious and intrusive ads on your device just to annoy you.
That's why it is so important to download apps only from Trusted sources, and read the app permissions carefully before you agree to anything unknowingly.
