If you log in to a VPN (virtual private network) the operator / admin of that private network can track each packet and all data you send through that network. Think of it as another local router at your home. If you own that router you can log, trap, and review anything sent through the system. VPNs owned and operated by you or your employee or someone you know are generally safe. Those operated by unknown people are indeed much more dangerous than your own ISP.
