... because I don't know what it can 'see'.

Because am logged in with my Apple ID all the time, does that essentially mean Apple can see whatever I'm doing through my account? Like, if am watching something online, editing sensitive data, downloading things, logging into various place - can Apple or whoever see what am doing?

I was concerned about it so turned off iCloud, but then saw it's benefits with my phone and iPad etc.

That's a great question.

I have no idea why Apple doesn't publish a comprehensive guide explaining how iCloud works, in detail. Yet that said, perhaps they do & I've simply missed it.

We'll have to wait for someone else to come along & answer this question.

Have you read this? It might answer some, if not all, of your Apple privacy questions: http://www.apple.com/privacy/

(See what I did there? ;))
