1Password accounts do not use iCloud to sync. Instead they utilize our 1st party service. All data is encrypted on your device using your account password and Secret Key before the data is syncronized. This means only data protected by both the account password and Secret Key is stored.
The Secret Key makes it such that even if a bad actor were to gain access to the 1Password service, it would be implausible (if not infeasible) to decrypt your data. Even 1Password employees who in order to perform their job functions have the highest levels of access possible cannot see what you're storing in 1Password.
