You're being paranoid. Please don't throw accusations when you don't know what you're talking about.
I have never had a privacy problem, nor do I have anything negative to say about those here at dsl. From those who work so hard on coding and testing, to those who answer questions on the forums, I believe this is a top rate development team and community in general.
Where is this stuff coming from? You DO NOT have to log into paypal to access the DSL site, or download .iso's or, whatever.
DSL is a top notch distro and community, they have no need to be sneaky or otherwise unprofessional.
