This is the primary reason that I chose swype over swiftkey on iOS. It doesn't require internet access, so as far as I understand it, all my keystrokes are completely sandboxed inside it.
No way I'm agreeing to have everything I type transmitted to a third party.
- ctdonath 12y agoCan anyone elaborate on this (or at least confirm)? I can deal with "remote keylogger" _if_ I feel I can trust the business (however ill-defined that may be). Real sore point is ye ole NSA/FBI/whoever being able to demand/siphon that data, so on-device sandboxing is much preferred. SwiftKey is pretty neat, but may switch to Swype once I'm convinced it's worth the few bucks for a local secure sandbox.
- unfamiliar 12y agoI have more practical concerns. I might "trust" the company not to abuse or sell my data - but do I trust that they are actually competent enough to secure it? It is abuse by hackers which gain access to the data that I am worried about.
