Privacy is very important to me. Since I've got some security background and my main interest is Personal Information Management, being interested in privacy is the logical consequence. I blog a lot on this and similar topics.

To me, it is perfectly OK to use cloud services for your data under those conditions you should be aware of. There is also a German version of this article: Es ist in Ordnung, wenn du deine persönlichen Daten Cloud-Firmen gibst.
