As soon as someone else has access to the hardware, assume someone else has access to the data. Depending on your threat model this might be acceptable. If you just don’t want <INSERT GENERIC EVIL BILLIONAIRE> snooping, I’d say a VPS is a perfectly valid solution.
I use a dedicated server, but in this regard it is similar to a VPS, and I carefully consider what kind of data I put on it. I wouldn’t put very private data on there. Simply because I see no need for it to be there.
