no...... absolutely none of your account or character data is stored locally

All your account details are stored on the GW server.
If you can, copy your GW.dat file do another drive, then when you reinstall, copy it back to the folder you plan to install to (even if you have to create a new folder manually): That way you waste no time downloading.
