Maybe I'm alone in privacy concerns, but something behind the "great firewall" scares me a bit to trust.

I don't think you send them your data. They send you their technology.

That is correct. We simply built a storage engine technology. You run it yourself on your own servers. Everything is open source except for the core compression algorithms that are loaded as a proprietary dynamic library. Being a young startup, we made the choice not to open source this part for now (see my other comment higher in this thread).

False dichotomy. Just because you're worried about China doesn't mean you're not worried about the US.
