ThunderHub is open-source and available for anyone to audit.This still doesn't mean it's completely bullet proof against attackers.
If you connect using your admin macaroon, it is AES-256 encrypted, password protected and stored only in your browser. The password is only known by you and you need to unlock your account everytime you want to perform an admin only change such as managing channels or sending and receiving bitcoin or lightning payments.
The ThunderHub server uses your credentials to connect to your node but they are never stored outside of your browser. Still, this involves a certain degree of trust you must be aware of.
If you want a more secure alternative, you can connect using a view-only macaroon and use ThunderHub only for monitoring your node.
The password is only known by you and is used to unlock an encrypted macaroon stored only on your browser making it impossible for us to help you with this situation.
The fix is simple. Delete that account on ThunderHub (Don't worry, this doesn't delete anything or affect in any way your node) and connect again with your desired macaroons.
We do not track anything from our users and store no information on our servers. Should it be needed in the future, we will notify users and ask for explicit consent before hand.
ThunderHub provides full lightning node management which is only possible when you are the owner of the lightning node to which it is connecting. So in short, no you cannot use ThunderHub without having your own node.
Nowadays with the posibility of using pruned bitcoin nodes (Bitcoin nodes which only have a section of the Bitcoin blockchain), you can get a lightning node up and running in the cloud for under €15/month.
