To be 100% sure? Host it yourself. There is always a chance the operator violates your privacy, willing or unwillingly.
I mean for privacy, not really. Then the site in question is logging all of your activity from your personal IP, as opposed to an IP shared with others.
Self hosting doesn't limited to hosting in home. It can be a VPS, colocation, or even in your work place if the IT department is happy about it.
If it's a VPS, it's still your IP
Making it available to others as well would be the perfect solution then
It's also a great way to have your server completely overwhelmed with traffic but yeah.
