Well your private data isn't hosted in a public cloud, for starters.

What’s the difference between having your data in an AWS data center versus having it in Hetzner’s data center from the point of view of “private data in cloud”?

(Good move IMO nevertheless)

Your own hardware in a data center is specced, procured, installed, managed, and operated by you, which is more secure and more provable than letting anyone else do all that.

But they said on prem. Hetzner or any other data center is not on prem.

Ah.. TFA is on a Hetzner vps. Well it's 2 different conversations anyway. TFA doesn't say they did it for security but for efficiency.

it's a dedicated machine fwiw
