Give me an option to pay and be more clear in your data policy and maybe I'll give it a shot.

I've been wanting something like this for a while but the privacy policy is pretty vague and far too broad for me to trust a service like this:

I'm happy to take your money and also clarify the privacy policy -- will follow-up with you when that's done!

The data security / privacy policy is super important. I've also wanted a personal CRM for some time so this definitely hits my pain point. However, I anticipate this would become most useful when I start adding personal, honest notes for all my contacts. That's obviously a problem if this database were ever to be leaked, or (worse) subpoenaed.

I'd be much more excited about this product if it used zero-knowledge encryption for my data. Yes you can't data-mine it (and if I lose my password I'm hosed), but I'd prefer having the only copy of the decryption key.
