So never make the mistake to mix private with work.
I don't think Atlassian is to blame here. Maybe they could have communicated this better to the owner of the account. But if you own an account it does not mean you own the content if you used it for work.
- mcv 7y agoAtlassian is absolutely to blame. You still own the account and any personal data on it. It's not their to give away to someone else. If a company thinks they own something on that account, they should address that with the owner of the account. In court, if necessary. But companies just seizing your data like that should be illegal, and companies should not enable it. They certainly shouldn't proactively give your data to someone else. Note that Youtube is also guilty of similar things, allowing companies to claim ownership of independent users' original works. There need to be stronger laws to crack down on such abuses.
