In the old days this would be a pc "program" on a person's home computer and all this data sharing concern moot. Why this database madness? All that's needed is a simple encrypted cloud backup. Harrumph.
I think you're reading too much into that. All that means is that they can use other services to process your data, e.g. putting your data in an AWS managed database.
