Isn't privacy a concern? How do consumers ensure that data is not going to captured in a future update without it being open source or having third party security audits?
- awestroke 1y agoThat's a concern with all apps ever so idk what answer you're expecting
- mananaysiempre 1y agoExcept the open-source ones, or sandboxed[1] ones without any auto-update functionality (not sure if this app has any). [1] Loosely; I’d say not referencing any networking entrypoints or dlsym() also counts, as working around that would be very non-deniably malicious.
- reconnecting 1y agoPerhaps this type of software could be either open-source with full code accessibility, or proprietary but from a highly trustworthy entity responsible for privacy both legally and reputationally. Currently, both approaches are missing.
- reconnecting 1y agoDisagreed. It's not concerned with all apps, because most commercial applications have legal entities explaining how they use collected data. In this particular case, this is something called 'Refine', and it's not a legal entity, therefore, questioning its data privacy approach is fully legitimate.
- reconnecting 1y agoI also strongly believe that it’s a primary question when we talk about keyboard input.
