Almost every program you run can delete your data. Does that make it not your data?

Quick rule of thumb --- it's not really your data if the only backup is someone else's hands.

This needs some elaboration.

Scenario A: I take a photo. There is no backup. Is this my data?

Scenario B: I have multiple independent backups of a document. Google deletes the main copy off my computer against my will. Is that "not my data" because Google deleted it? Does the deletion not count because I have a backup? Third option?
