Maybe add a dead man switch? If you don't log on every week, then destroy the server side of the key.

That's a possibility, but the risk of having your data inadvertently destroyed is much higher. Moreover, you must trust your ability to stall inquiries for up to a week.

It really depends on the relative cost of having your data destroyed vs. having your data published, but I'm sure there are cases with a dead man switch is a good compromise.
