I'm usually happy with the trade-off for better reliability and speed if it's not anything where I want absolute privacy or control.
The privacy is going to be somewhat okay because you're paying them for it, it's supposed to be your machine and analysing all of the different content and traffic people host is much more difficult versus when a company provides one app. Plus it would be a PR and legal disaster. They're probably not going to be passing on how I use my server to advertisers... probably, I hope.
So yeah, the only way I can be certain is to purely run it in my home.
