Linda:
I don't know these providers well personally, but I would argue that a warning is necessary as we aren't all-knowing.
See also https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/1196
What about adding an additional suggestion to verify their privacy policies?
I committed this, but would "read" make more sense than "verify" ?
I meant verifying their claims on their main home pages, but yeah “read” probably is more clear.
Lazy suggestion, so I don't have to terminal it.
Changed to read, please rereview
I do not think this is necessary, or we would have to add such a warning to every page on the site. VPN and DNS providers seem like special cases because they will receive your data when you are visiting third parties. Hosting providers will only see your data when you are directly accessing their servers. We also have a lot of VPN- and DNS-specific text respectively, whereas this is just a simple sentence.
If we want to add a generic warning, adding some text for clarification of our point and putting it on https://www.privacytools.io/providers/ would be a better solution.
I don't understand how to interpret this. Hosting provider has root on your servers and thus see my data when I am using anything not-E2EE on a server hosted on them.
I am unlikely to work on this any time soon.
