Question marked as Apple recommended

When you sign-out of iCloud on a device, you will be offered the option to keep a copy of some iCloud data (such as Contacts, Calendar and Keychain) on your device.


Your response will determine whether a copy of this data is retained, or not, after logout from iCloud.


This raises the question as to your objectives in logging-out from iCloud? If your intention is to prepare the device for a new user (and, by extension, to ensure that your personal data is removed from the iPad), log-out from iCloud alone is insufficient to data-cleanse the device.


If you can provide some information as to your objective, appropriate advice can be provided.
