> I'm a paying customer, yet I have never given them any PII.

By nature, every VPN gets at least the IP you are connecting from and the IPs (and almost always also hostnames) you are connecting to. I'd consider that PII.



No, most VPNs would ask for address, email, full name, and so on - thats PII that not everyone gets who I visit on the internet.


If you pay cash, and use the service the pii is 2 IP numbers?


As long as you only connect from one IP and only ever access one host, sure! That's not trivial to achieve with most VPN clients and devices/operating systems, though.


How would you pay cash for an online service?


One quick google away:
