Indeed. I haven't understood any of this thread because iCloud works
fine for my wife and me.

OK, but that means that you can't communicate your "important and/or
private information" via the Internet at all. What assurance do you
have that your date will not be held in a remote server (what we used
to call "the cloud") for some indeterminate period? Sounds like
registered mail is the way to go for you. It is probably the most
secure means of communication available to the public in the U.S.
(other than personal contact between persons who are known to each
other).
