Doubts about the use of google colab

Hi, I wanted to ask a couple of questions I have regarding the use of google colab. When I use a notebook prepared from a link from github, faceswap or deepfacelab, google warns me that the notebook could send information to github. I am afraid that my personal facesets will end up being shared on the internet. Do you think it is safe?

On the other hand, do you think Google monitors the personal information we use on Colab?

Thank you very much!

We have no official notebook for Colab and cannot provide assurances that it isn't doing anything malicious (same as Google themselves, hence that warning).

If you're worried you can audit the notebook code yourself or follow a guide for the official version on a bare server.
