When a user uploads information into a cloud server, there is still debate on how the cloud provider may legally use that information without violating the user’s rights. Technically, the service provider has unrestricted access to all the data stored in its servers unless there is a clear policy that dictates exactly how the data can be used.
Some services, such as Gmail, use the data uploaded by the user in order to improve the quality of their services, create a new services, or generate revenue. This particular practice is of concern as users may or may not aware if their private information is being disclosed to third-parties.
Government officials may also have the authority to subpoena information from the cloud service provider without requiring knowledge from the user.
