Ditto regarding the opinion above. If you want to protect you data from being breached, rather invest in a firewall and in a password manager to maintain complex alphanumeric passwords. Reputable companies (incl. all major hotel and airline brands) encrypt data in motion themselves, so a VPN will not add much on top of that. The primary purpose of any VPN is to hide you real IP address, which is also a bit redundant nowadays as a good ISP will randomly allocate IP addresses across its subscribers. IMO a bit of a first world rant TBH ...
