With an hypervisor what the client have is private, as long as the host can manage the disk, delete it, but the information is kept private from the host.

There is the same problem with all hypervisors. Nothing prevents
hypervisor admin to do a snapshot image and mount it as another disk to
other OS and access the data.
So nothing is private at this virtualisation level. (without encrypted
disks)
