Google Apps is a product that you pay for, and it has completely different terms of service than free Google products. Google Apps for Business users do not get ads. Google Apps for Business user data is not used inappropriately, per the terms of service. Google Apps has been certified for use by the US federal government, which has pretty strict rules about these sorts of things. Google Apps is used by banks, medical firms, law firms, accounting firms - all companies with strict rules about PII, data sharing, etc, etc. > I like my data to be on my computers where it is perfectly safe. You've never lost any data? Never had a computer fail? It seems to me that we must have completely different ideas of "perfectly safe".
