As a user of an app, its always a fair question to ask.

"Free" usually means you are the product.

No, capital F Free (as in freedom ) usually does not mean that. Closed source and gratis often do.

You're not "the product" for the Apache web server or the Linux kernel...

"Open Source" means you are not though.
