I agree with you, @nobus. I never save data to outside sources, I always backup to one of my own hard drives. Every computer that I do 'work' (as opposed to experiments and play) on has a second drive to do backups to. And I never give away hard drives that have my data on them. I have every hard drive I have ever had since about 1990, more than 50 of them.
you seem even more cautious than i am - lol
I figure if it never leaves my possession, I got nothing to worry about. There was a 60 Minutes episode where they tracked discarded hard drives and many of them made their way to China even when they were supposed to be destroyed here in the US. That convinced me that keeping them myself was the better way.
