If you use a web-service to manage your Bitcoins, then you don't have your private keys on your computer and you're 100% reliant on the web-service to keep your money safe. This is not recommended (except for small amounts for convenience).

blockchain.info runs mostly on the client, the server does not have your private keys in a usable form, and you are free to export them.
