Data is not physical; it’s ephemeral. It requires a physical medium in/upon which to be contained.
Edit: and to answer your question: no. What’s in your head would be considered an idea, a thought, or a concept. Perhaps even a consideration, as you literally stated.
Data is reliant upon a physical storage medium, like helium (or other gas/water/pee) is reliant upon a balloon. Pop it, and it’s lost to the ether.

Excellent addition. Star Trek similes are always welcomed.
