Or don't use someone's encryption if you don't have the private encryption key. Encrypt it yourself. But still then, it is only a matter of time when the encryption of your data is cracked. Could take years but if it is data someone really wants, one day it can be decrypten.

Hence, if the data is not on someone else's computer in the first place, it is not a matter of time.
