It creeps me out to no end that people would log such kind of data to a remote, online service they have zero control over. I hope at least you keep backups for you. But my concerns are the privacy.

You can keep the data private and there is no built in "social" with Daytum. It doesn't look like the founders will be working on it anytime soon since they were "acq-hired" by Facebook. I've been using it for the last 2 years to measure and visualize my personal data.

But to each their own, I suppose.

what if the site got hacked and exploited? do they store your data securely?

It may sound foolish, but I'm not too worried about that.

What will_lam said. I constantly download data dumps in case the website completely goes down and all of my data is private.
