Still think your data is already backed-up?

SaaS providers operate in the Shared Responsibility Model. As such, they are responsible for the entire cloud infrastructure, but limit the responsibility for data protection at the account level.

GitHub GitHub Terms of Service

You understand that use of the cloud products necessarily involves transmission of your data over networks that we do not own, operate or control, and we are not responsible for any of your data lost, altered, intercepted or stored across such networks. We cannot guarantee that our security procedures will be error-free, that transmissions of your data will always be secure or that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or those of our third party service providers.
