The information is transmitted over SSL. It is not stored on the back-end at all, only relayed via the backend & there is no way for the author to view the text.

Is there a specific reason the author can't view the text?

Presumably that is according to the author or is there some third party that has audited the code.

Just to add, the data you see in the list is stored on the device/PC itself.
