"it cares about our privacy"

The server is proprietary software. Therefore, this sentence cannot be proven true - and chances are quite often against the user in these times. It's a fairly dangerous affirmative specially to innocent people that might be interested in the subject, so be careful, yes?

This was the single most-important requirement for me, otherwise I might as well just use any other hosted service... If you can't self-host, there's no accountability - or TRUE privacy, for that matter. Will be interested to see what they decide to do moving forward on this front.
