How private is namecheap? (discuss.tchncs.de)

First time website hoster here. I just need a simple, cheap website and I stumbled upon namecheap and their shared hosting/website builder.

As far as I can tell from what I've seen they seem good, but is there something I should know about privacy-wise?

Sorry if this post is naive, I'm not really sure where I should be looking.

Thanks for the info. I don't plan on doing anything majorly illegal, just personal stuff. More interested for peace of mind, so the law enforcement compliance isn't a problem.

Sounds like I'll probably stick with them for now, thought I may switch to CloudFlare in the future. Also do you know if Namecheap's 'premium DNS' is fast enough for the DNS challenge? I don't think it is, but just checking you weren't referring to the free one.
