Of course if you want to be picky. Games are data as well, just a different form. But what I mean to say is that data like games can be stored on an external server like google drive. My games from Steam are of course installed on my pc, but the save games are stored on a server. Whatever I do in a game on one PC is synchronized via Steam and I can continue playing where I left off on my laptop, after I played on my desktop. And if I get a new PC, I just install steam, log in and get the option to install my old games and can continue there where I stopped, without losing any data.
Other data like documents, photos, videos, music and films or even e-books can be stored on a server and are reachable from anywhere in the world on any device as long as you can log into your account.
If I lose my phone, I still can get nearly everything that I stored on that phone back. My emails, my contacts, phonebook anything that I have google automatically store in the cloud.
