I happen to know the people behind Huminity - they are two sweet people who really beleive in their privacy statement. The goal is, beleive it or not, to try and create something good!

They are both people who did a lot of networking (human networking with business colleagues), they wanted to see a tool that helped to do the same thing that you do in a real-life networking event, on the internet, and they did not find such tools. this is why with the help of a team of developers, they have created this tool. I also helped create some of the server backend, and I know the emails are very secure. The database is protected behind several layers. Of course, nothing is ever so safe, BUT, let's not forget this is the same internet where spammers harvest millions of emails on websites and newsgroups...

I personally think that more than reasonable efforts were spent to make sure the email addresses are safe. Sure, it is your right to be suspicious. I personally uninstalled Kazaa and other such crap because of spyware. Some tools claim to have no spyware in them, but they contain such software anyway!! Some spy tools even install themselves automatically with the aids of exploits in Outlook and Outlook express... so? Am I going to stop using Outlook?! Why do I trust microsoft, a company that sold me an operating system so flawed, that an exploit appears every week, with a virus deadlier than the previous? Why do I keep using it?! ;-)

I think you guys should give some credit to these people, read the web page, try to beleive some of it. I personally know it's all true and more. They really are very very good people. The kinda people your mom would tell you to do business with.

About the location of their premises - this was done for tax reasons. Nothing more. Most international internet businesses do that today. No biggie.

Just my two cents,
