If I use the `binder | slicer` from [here](https://github.com/Slicer/SlicerJupyter), 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.
