On your iOS device, go to Settings > [username] > iCloud and turn off any of the options that you don't want to use.

Note that I am telling you how to do it but I am not recommending that you do it. There are a number of options there such as syncing iCloud Contacts, iCloud Backup, and Find My iPhone, that you may regret not having on if your phone is damaged or lost -- but that is your choice and the options to turn them off are there.
