I am starting to use Microsoft Office Live to save my computer repair side business information. I currently save my annual spreadsheet which consists of dates, job details, amount of job, and person's name.

I would like to store all of my invoices on Microsoft Office Live. My concern is the customer information that is on each invoice and storing the information on Microsoft Office Live.

Is anyone storing their customer information on Microsoft Office Live?

I currently keep invoices on my WHS2011.

I'm not familiar with US law but, in Canada, you have to be careful about storing personal information on internet servers; the privacy laws can make you libel for damages if someone's info leaks out. Like jmwills said, encryption might well be one way to show that you've taken 'due diligence'.

If at first you don't succeed, do it like your mother told you.
