Cloudflare makes a pretty specific statement against what you are saying:

"1.1.1.1 does not mine any user data. Logs are kept for 24 hours for debugging purposes, then they are purged."

Are you claiming they are lying?

I'm all for assuming the people who work there are good eggs with the best intentions, but Cloudflare, Inc. is a U.S. company. As I understand the U.S. legal landscape with regards to data and privacy protection, they could be forced to lie at a moment's notice and not talk about it.
So far as I know there is no legal way for the US to make a company lie about its activities. That is the basis of warrant canaries, which have not been tested in court yet. You can find cloudflares https://www.cloudflare.com/transparency/.

They could be forced to not talk about something via a gag order.

I'm not claiming their lying or doing anything internally that is different. There is just nothing stopping the change from happening, now that the possibility exists
I'm claiming I don't believe them. They could write on their page whatever they see fit and do a completely different thing internally.
