In general, I wouldn’t expect any privacy from something that is public on the internet (at least not the public parts).
The new provider is Communiteq. I’m not sure what you mean by “operators.” Would that be us, the Qubes team, or the folks at Communiteq? It depends on what you mean by “operator.” I don’t know where the server(s) are located. @deeplow, do you know?
I guess I’ll update this to say “Communiteq” instead.
