If you worry about your data, think of all your information in categories from confidential to public. I do that and it gives me peace of mind.

Everything digital that I really care about I only store locally on my computer and on encrypted hard drives. I use mail servers located out of the US to be sure national data privacy is effective (NSA spying is not taken into account). I once talked with T-Mobile and asked them how they store geo data. They were astounded and said they didn't store it at all because we're in Germany and not in the US. Everything I put in iCloud, especially Calender, Notes or Pages in the Cloud, I agree somehow to that being stored and reused by third parties potentially. That's not great but hey, those services are for free and in the end the only thing people want to do with those information is make money by placing personalized advertising. Fair enough, I can stand that.

Everything else that I want nobody or only my closest people to know I simply don't put on the internet and not even my computers at all, I write it down, talk to them in person, call them or write SMS, simple. It's just a matter of awareness and carefulness, not a big deal. We need to overcome laziness from time to time.

If you want a secure Cloud service use Wuala, it's the safest there is. It's as safe as storing locally on your computer. If you have digital data you need to store the safest way possible put it on an AES-256-encrypted hard drive and only connect to your computer when you're not connected to the internet. It's pretty impractical but very safe.
