If Gmail proved anything, it was that people would, for the most part, accept any terms of service. Or at least not care enough to read the fine-print closely.

If it’s free from a for profit company, you’re most likely the product
Which today though does not mean that if you pay for something like this that you are not also the product. Double-dipping for companies, so to say.
Hence caveat emptor. Research your company. I can say that the online services I pay for don’t gather my data and don’t sell it either. And they hold no leverage over me, the second they do any of those things I would drop them like a sack of potatoes.
