Where personal data are concerned, if the data are not sitting on a server controlled by me (i.e. in my home), they don't belong to me. I will store some data off-site (e.g. the family genealogical database is stored at my parents' house, as well), but even then - I control the placement of the data.
Where work is concerned, whatever my employer considers suitable is OK by me. (I'm not involved in specifying data retention policies.)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

File will be split around the globe to multiple nodes.
So if file split x100 ways, it will generate 100 gps locations, and find nearest node.
anyone is free to add nodes to the network as long as they:
1. never shut down the computer.
2. if they need to shut it down, they need to give 6 months notice so data can be relocated to another node.
3. if this get too big, it might need to be 8 months notice.

All my "Cloud" data - Seems like y'all like to call it that these days, is all housed 15 minutes away from my home in my data center - if you want to call it that. (It's a Dell power edge).
Frankly letting anyone, anywhere who is not say, immediate family hold your data for you for monthly fee is well..... at you're peril.

The data that I store online is the data that I am going to access less often. Thus, where it gets stored doesn't matter; such as source code for my older projects etc. Some tools or freeware stuff, that I can deliver to my friends as well online etc.
The data that I have to care about its timely delivery, I keep in a USB or harddrive. Gives me privacy as well, and good timely delivery.

Personally, I prefer sensitive information to be stored on servers in Europe.
I'm not sure how Asia and Africa handle data, but it seems the USA has scrapped the word "privacy" from their dictionaries.
I have no illusions that my data is absolutely safe and/or private in Europe, but I know that it absolutely isn't in the USA.
It's not such an issue for me that I wouldn't use a service over it, but I'd make a mental note nonetheless.
At work we have some customers who demand that their data isn't stored in America.

Agree with you on this. The trouble is that we really have no control over where/how our data is transmitted across the internet regardless of where it's stored. All because it's in Europe, does that mean it's never transmitted or cached on servers in Africa, South America or China? Hopefully it's encrypted enough to make it secure(ish) but there's no guarantee.
I just work on the assumption that if it's on the internet it's out of my control. And if the big boys (Apple, Microsoft, Google) can't secure things, I've got no chance.
The most effective security feature I have is not being rich, famous or powerful enough to be worthwhile hacking
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Bingo!
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I prefer data servers by Kingston or even HP, for anything sensitive; by sensitive I mean, images, audio/video etc. Passwords are no longer sensitive information. I wonder why they even have them nowadays.

But, the NSA can access those servers just as easily as ones in the US...

Except I was reading within the last few days that the EU is getting ready to demand Encryption backdoors too.

...you can't control it anyway and at the bottom line, all that matters is, how much you trust your cloud provider.
It would not be the first and not the last company, that tells you "A", but the truth is "B".
So, what would you win, if they tell you "it's stored in London" (or wherever), but you can't get the evidence for that? All you can do is believe.
So the question is: How much do you trust your Provider?
And based on that answer you decide, what you put up in that specific cloud, and what not.

Ah. I interpreted the phrase "your online data" in the survey title as cloud resident data used/generated by my app, not my personal data that's recorded by way of ecommerce or in-store transactions. My cloud provider has a responsibility to store my app generated data in a secure manner, barring of course access by law enforcement under a subpoena (at least in the US).
Edit: Re-reading the survey, I see I misinterpreted it.
