  • You’re right that they are miles ahead of other companies regarding communication and opt-out. And indeed it’s rare that they will adhere to your choice when they implement new functions. For new users it’s good to know that they perhaps want to switch this data collection off. Maybe it’s a knee jerk reaction from my side: wanting to increase privacy and seeing this message brought up some worries. Especially because other companies started the same. Google also disguises stuff for better privacy or security, but in the end it’s just to prevent users from blocking their data analytics.





  • You need to trust your provider. If you choose a bigger one, chances are you are a bit safer. Those kind of providers make big bucks on companies, so if they harm the trust of their customers they are out of business. You could try to choose software which implements E2EE and zero-trust to be safer, but those are not available on all software categories. VPS providers have access to all your stuff. So it’s all up to you which provider you trust. I would prefer a bigger name too some obscure little basement hoster.
