Absolutely there is no reason to believe they aren't still collecting data. But the checkbox claims that they aren't logging, and so by clicking it they know your intention is not to cooperate in their fundamental business model. It's just yet another little deniable dark pattern pressure, making the service suck a little when you don't do what they want. And my outrage point is you get this dark pattern pressure even while you are actually paying money at the same time. They make more money from the free users and ads than they do from subscriptions. They actually don't want paying users, they just kind of hsve to offer the option to keep those users pacified.
