I cried once over accidentally deleting my period tracker app because I didn't have a backup setup for my data. I lost a couple years' worth of so much information! I had been tracking so much all in that one place, so when it all disappeared in an instant of clumsy thumbs I was sooo sad. I definitely relate to the grief of losing your personal data and can understand the anger too.
I don't have a personal data loss story, but it makes me think of this lovely essay from years ago! https://onezero.medium.com/your-teenage-email-account-is-a-lost-time-capsule-a7627d53c466
Another effort to disaggregate AAPI data that's been doing good work for a while: https://aapidata.com/
