"Your info won't be used for ads". Does that also mean that they won't collect any info about you? Theoretically, they don't have any reason to collect data anymore because you pay them.
Your info won't be used for ads means exactly that, nothing more, nothing less.
They will still collect this info, they will continue building a profile of you, and they will continue selling this data.
But others will pay for your data. They’ll collect it all anyway. Even if anonymized, it’s still valuable.
