There is if a company promises the kind of security in marketing, though. SnapChat got slapped (and just that) for promising ephemeral messaging: http://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2014/05/snapch....
idk, I can imagine the recent celebrity leaks would sue Apple for allowing those pictures to be distributed. Of course, I'm sure Apple's got a clause in its iCloud T&C's that makes them deny liability.
