How does paying ensure the data is your own?

  You're the customer, not their product.

    But the data is still not in your control. Right?

  Paying means that the provider doesn't have to mine your email for keywords in order to display targeted ads (yeah, I know Google theoretically stopped doing this recently). So perhaps "your own" in the sense that another entity isn't accessing it.
