Pretty much what the others here have been pointing out, that I have to hand over my data before I can evaluate whether or not I trust you with it. Feel free to verify the email I use to prevent abuse.

I've been evaluating a lot of products in this space in the past week and I think it is a space that could do with a developer-first approach. But to do that I still want to see a path towards using it at scale that's a little more fleshed than a "talk to sales" equivalent. Even if this were open source, I would be happy to pay for someone else to host and scale it, but at least I would know I couldn't be unreasonably locked in after making my business depend on it.

There are desktop alternatives (such as Easy Data Transform, Alteryx and Tableau Prep) where your data stays on your machine. Which helps with latency, as well as privacy.
In this instance I'm referring to my personal data that can be pulled from social profiles, not the data to be analysed. :)
Understood. But I would generally be more worried about uploading my data to the cloud, than using a social profile to do it.
We're offering a self-hosted version to keep your data on your server.
