Don't use #openclaw wrapper services that make it easier to run. It's already easy and the creator of openclaw discourages it himself. He constantly works to make it easy as possible to do it yourself.

Most wrapper services will be gone when the hype dies off.

When you use wrapper service you expose data to:
- wrapper service
- hosting provider (maybe subcontractor of datacenter)
- model provider

When you host at VPS provider:
- hosting provider (maybe subcontractor of datacenter)
- model provider

When you host at home *:
- model provider **


* you don't need a mac mini, completely overblown, you can run on e.g proxmox server (2-4gb ram plenty enough), start9, or old laptop, you don't even need it run 24/7

** you can use Maple AI which anonymizes data, not sure about ppq.ai. Best would be local models but not economically possible with big models atm.

No matter what as long as local models not possible, you will always send sensitive data to model providers to complete tasks. Better avoid other 3rd parties that can also read your data.

If you can't do it yourself ask someone you trust to set it up on your home server or on a VPS rented by you. Avoid convenient wrappers.
