I don't quite understand how Snowflake works.

My understanding was that you had to grant storage access (e.g. S3) and compute access (e.g. EC2) from your account to Snowflake, which would then use said resources to perform queries that you issue from their hosted web UI.

In that case it would mean stealing the Snowflake demo account of a SE should not expose your data unless you forgot to revoke their access to your underlying resources.

Can someone explain if that is how it works?
