There's nothing on the website stating that they're not storing information. (They do list that they don't have access to certain info, such as credentials, but nothing discussing actual transaction data.) I would hope that sort of thing would be explicitly called out. There's also no mention of security audits or anything other than their use of 256-bit encryption for lots of stuff, which frankly I don't know whether is good or bad, enough or nowhere near that. Also, companies of this size go out of business or get acquired or whatever all the time... where's some assurance that my data will be purged when the company dissolves or gets bought out by WeSellYourData.com?
Color me somewhat skeptical.
On a related note, the fact that TheVerge talks about it as though "what an awesome service" without mentioning ANY sort of "oh and by the way they can see ALL YOUR DATA because they're TEXTING IT TO YOU BY GOLLY" makes me think the less of them, as well.
- mattmanser 11y agoLike every shop, bar and website you've ever been to? Colour me confused Robin! You read http://www.asktrim.com/security http://www.asktrim.com/security, did you read the last paragraph where they say you can email them directly at security@asktrim.com, why don't you do that instead of over-reacting in the comments?
