Data privacy with SlicerJupyter on the binder

If I use the binder | slicer from here, I believe it instantiates an image of the docker container to run a Notebook for me. If I upload data to the container/virtual machine, whatever we call it–

  1. Does anyone have access to the data other than me?
  2. Will my data get destroyed when I exit the Notebook?

I am trying to understand how data privacy can be upheld if I use the above binder.

By design, nobody else can access your data and data is destroyed automatically, but since it is a free service, they don’t take responsibility for anything. They don’t want to be sued if information leaks because they make a mistake or they get hacked. See this page for details: https://mybinder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#how-does-mybinder-org-ensure-user-privacy.
