This depends on how you define “safe.” Saying something is “in the cloud” is another way of saying “it’s on someone else’s computer.” So your information is only as secure as their computer, and your access method — if you’ve got a weak password, or their security systems are poorly set up, or it’s possible for someone to physically access and steal the computer or copy all the data on it, your information isn’t secure at all.
