I'm looking for a privacy respecting vacuum robot (sh.itjust.works)

I'm looking for a vacuum robot preferably under 500€ and with a cleaning station. My main concern is that most robot vacuum providers seem to need to be connected to the internet. Are there any providers that either don't need that, where I can block the internet connection or any other way not getting a spy in my home? I'm fine with it if some work is needed

I think your best option is to find a used one that supports valetudo

Thanks a lot, that pretty much what I was looking for

No problem; do note that in most cases you are going to need to open the vacuum to access the serial interface; so make sure you are comfortable with doing that and that you have the necessary adapters... That last one bit me on numerous projects
