Related Github profile lists location as "La Plage Digitale, Strasbourg". Googled that + Appsdeck, discovered La Plage Digitale is a coworking space. Found a couple of articles tagged Appsdeck, which led me to Yann Klis:

It shouldn't be that hard. An imprint / contact details page is a minimum requirement for anyone offering a service such as this for money.

Imprint and terms of service is the minimum and we know that. Technically we don't charge for money ATM.

Founder here. Team and proper contact will soon be there. I understand that even the service is in beta you'd like to know who runs the service. Will correct that.

Funny how most US startups tend to be very public about who they are (you often see photos of the team on their websites),while EU startups tend to be very secretive about personal details (of course it might not be true when a company is huge like amazon or google) . At least that's my experience.

At least in Germany and Austria you are required by law to publish a lot of details about your corporation or yourself (e.g. when doing a one-man-business). It's called "Impressumspflicht" which translates to "duty to publish an imprint/legal information"
