I have never setup iCloud or Cloud service on any of my devices and never will. Working in the IT field I can honestly say putting your info out there when even Microsoft and the Government get hacked is probably the stupidest thing you could possibly do. No amount of "guarantee" is worth sacrificing your privacy.

I had my yahoo account hacked 2 years ago and put 2 step verification of the account. This prevents my yahoo account from being accessed on a new device without a one time code, sent to my phone.
An attempt to access my google a iTunes account was blocked, but it encouraged me to put the same kind of protection on those accounts.

THIS is why I don't use cloud systems at all. Anyone that thinks only Celebrity cloud accounts are getting hacked is deluding themselves.
