Of course it is safe. How can they hack it if it isn't online? My backup server has no internet connection and my internet/mail server has its OS in ROM, not RAM. It is an ex Military system running XP Pro SP3 in ROM. An old - but stable - OS, and fast. It ain't going anywhere.
The Chromebook that my wife got last week was setup with her email accounts, one gmail the other a local ISP. Within two days she was being targeted with ads related to topics discussed in her email and her browsing history - even though ALL cookies are turned off and history not saved. You can have the cloud and anything related to Google - they have one purpose, to profile you for marketing.
