Yep. You can keep the design simple, but you need something to explain what you're doing (or not doing) with people's data. Also, a bit strange this wasn't made available considering you ask for my email address right after the application starts.

We're building the tool to send your bytes peer to peer (UDP hole punching) when it can, which works ~90% of the time. When it fails, we route your bytes through our servers. We don't store your bytes.

Trent here, from WireOver. The tool isn't a virus or malware, don't worry. It's just a file sending tool. We'll put up terms of service and a privacy policy very soon.

Well make sure you get it up soon. hackers are paranoid people. =p

Oh, so if a website says they aren't stealing your data, or doing anything shady, then it's OK to trust them?..

It certainly helps as you then at least have evidence that you can use in court to prove that they've violated their own policies.

I'd say most of the people don't care about those. (Even if we do in HN.)

So, yes, WireOver guys should put some more information, but I don't think it's a dealbreaker anyway.
