I agree with Eric - Cygwin does not deal with the cloud directly,
though programs running under it can.  I suppose an exception
would be if your local machine mounts a remote disk drive, and
you have Cygwin interact with files on that drive.  But it's
not like a web browser and web pages that send tracking info
to servers behind your back, etc.  It's pretty much like Linux.
