With Hetzner you can get a GDPR compliant Data Processing Agreement (DPA) when using them for hosting. https://www.hetzner.com/news/vertrag-zur-auftragsverarbeitung-gemaess-art-28-ds-gvo-steht-ab-sofort-online-zur-verfuegung-eintrag/ https://www.hetzner.com/news/vertrag-zur-auftragsverarbeitun... It's ok that their infrastructure logs IPs that it has to. They commit via their DPA to protecting personal data such as embedded in those logs, not logging what they don't need, not keeping it longer than necessary, only sharing it with third parties that agree similar protections, anonymising and aggregating as needed, etc. You probably want an agreement like that with a hosting provider for another reason, not just IP logging: They have physical access to all your on site storage, user databases, etc. It's good that they commit to treating data on those physical systems with appropriate respect.
