OP here.

This is something that we are very aware of. We only have good intentions and want our users to feel 100% secure with us. If you don't, please let us know how we can change that! :) We don't have it now, but we will make it possible to export all of the data in UserApp at any time.

Regarding security and privacy we have written a section about it here: https://help.userapp.io/customer/portal/topics/550128-securi...

Additionally, everything is SSL and passwords are stored using bcrypt. And we will make it possible to login using 3rd party providers later (OAuth). From a personal perspective, we will run this ship to the end of the world if we have to. Since we're developing quite a few other services (www.amail.io to mention one) we are also basing all our services on UserApp.

This sounds pretty good at a first look - so why do you bury it somewhere deep in the help section?
Yeah its the number one concern with this type of product. So it might even be good to have a security section on the front page, to ease nerves.
OP here.

I totally agree. Don't know how we could miss putting it up there. I will see to it that this gets the attention it needs on the front page. Thanks! :)

Could you do nightly SCP backup of my entire user database to my own server?
