Do I actually need a VPN?

No. A VPN hides your activity from some parties and changes your apparent location, but it does not make you anonymous. Accounts, logins, and habits still identify you.
Be cautious. Running a VPN costs money, so free ones often make it back another way, sometimes by logging or selling data. The trade-off is rarely in your favor.
