Hi Cher, When you use iCloud, your contacts stay on your computer and are also stored in iCloud. However, you won't want to sync contacts both between your computer and phone directly and between them and iCloud. If you do, you could end up with duplicate contacts. So either sync your computer and phone contacts with iCloud, or sync them directly with each other.
