It is weird that neither About, nor Terms or Contact pages mention who actually is behind this project. No name, no clear legal status, but collecting money and personal data of users. It may be a well-known service, but the number of users does not make it more trustworthy. | ||

> It is weird that... Doesn't strike this USian at all as weird. This describes most online entities that I interact with. Plus, there's always the site's contact form that you can use to ask for the information you want. What makes me trust it a whole lot are this triplet of facts 1) AFAICT, neither their privacy policy nor their terms of service have been changed in more than a decade. 2) They do not require you to give up your right to access the courts in order to use their service. 3) The backend code is open source. | ||
