It's suggesting that you have an update.

When I open it, the red dot is on "Apple ID". When I click on
Apple ID it shows a yellow triangle warning symbol next to
"Start Using iCloud", and no indication of any update.

When I accidentally washed my last iphone... [don't ask]
I was able to walk into the Apple store that same day, take the new phone out >of the box and was back in business within the hour.
So, any particular reason why you don't want to use icloud?

I don't have an iPhone. My computer has confidential data that must
not be transferred anywhere else.

most people do. using icloud doesn't mean everything is sent to the
cloud (plus it's encrypted anyway).

In my case, I live in the UK, in a rural location not 100km from London, where
until very recently the only broadband was ADSL at 2 Mbits/sec. So clearly not
practical for any sort of cloud storage.
FTTC now gives me 20 Mbits/sec, so still not really practical for cloud storage.
If Apple/Microsoft want us to use cloud products they shoudld install a decent
internet infrastructure. Either one could easily afford to do so ...!!!

There are legal requirements in this case. I don't want to run a
service where I would have to make sure I had disabled various
features.

I'm glad you agree that for information to remain completely safe from
prying eyes the relevant computer should /never/ be connected to the
Internet.
what are you waiting for? take your own advice and disconnect from the internet *now*.

they're disabled by default. you have to enable them.

That's not the case. When I turned on iCloud on a another machine,
it immediately had most categories ticked including "photos" and
"home".

You should apologise to Richard.

Reality is that the iCloud is not End-to-End encrypted. The user has to
do it on his/her own.

Try to "start using" it and then cancel the registration process.
I think then the red dot should be gone.

Surely if you have not turned on the option for ~/Desktop and ~/Documents
to reside on your iCloud Drive, there should not be a problem if the files are normally stored in, say, your ~/Documents folder.
