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.

The CloudFlare free DNS is a thing that you can easily do; the issue appears to be with the namecheap API. It successfully creates txt records but they take longer to replicate than LetsEncrypt challenges are valid
