With a Dedicated Server or VPS (virtual private server) I would feel confident enough, but with a truly shared server at a minimum the local admin could access the files.
If your box isn't physically under your control, ANYBODY who DOES have physical access can get in.
It's that simple, dedicated server or no. That's a basic security concept. So the risk isn't any higher than ANY Web hosting situation, in my view.If you have files detailing your plans to fly planes into a tall building, I wouldn't store them there. But if you're willing to let your customers credit card numbers be stored there, why not any other files - as long as they're legal?
