Do you have a gmail or yahoo or any type of 'free' email account? If you do, those emails are probably in 'the cloud'

Do you have bank account(s) or retirement account(s)? Your bank probably has at least some of your info in 'the cloud'. A mortgage? Same. Credit Cards? Same.

I'm sure lots of government entities who know things about you also have that information in 'the cloud', including the IRS.

If you have a smart phone, a HUGE amount of what you do with that phone is stored in 'the cloud'.

And most websites are hosted in one cloud or another ... I wouldn't be surprised if this one is too.
