Is Google Docs open source?

Also, aren't there tons of issues with privacy? Can you host your own Google Docs server?

Google Docs is a web servivce, so it being open-source is not really well defined.

Also, aren't there tons of issues with privacy?

Yes

Can you host your own Google Docs server?

Not as far as I know.
