To me this kinda defeats the point of being privacy-conscious.
Why? There's privacy conscious and then paranoid. Using a VPN to sign up to an email provider you're using to sign up for another website is definitely the latter. What do you think is going to happen?
I know that my ISP sells my data to third parties, so I prefer not to give it to them willingly. I don't consider that paranoid.
