Yes, the LiveCD runs in a ramdisk which means that when shutting the computer off that all data will be lost. However, you can save this data to an external device (i.e. flash drive or if you wanted maybe Dropbox). The same will happen when installing Ubuntu.

Unless you run USB pendrive in persistent mode, yes you will lose your data...
