I see that Google and similar want to encourage you to keep all your
data 'in the cloud' and use it from there. I want to keep it myself but
I'm happy to send it to someone so they can provide a service for me. I
don't want them to then provide that data back to me. Preferably I don't
want them to keep it at all after they have provided the service but I
don't really mind if it ends up on a backup tape somewhere.

I see there is a distinction although I doubt I've done a good job of
explaining it.

Thanks for the suggestions though.
