Now it says

> file.io is a project of humb.ly. It was created simply out of the joy of trying to build cool things on the internet, and we thought it may be useful for others. We take privacy very seriously and do not save any data once it has been deleted.

But going to humb.ly still doesn't really get me to trust you, there's not even any identifying info on that page. Two projects, one discontinued and one -- it seems -- novelty "religion".

It said that before, too — I was paraphrasing. "humb.ly" is a more trustable name than, say, "Megaupload", but they can say whatever they want.

What I want is some assurance like "The EFF has complete read-access to our platform and maintains a continuous independent audit of these services to verify that we comply with our own privacy assurances." The EFF is probably not the organization to do such a thing, but that's kind of what I'm looking for.

Humb.ly also makes park.io where the domain file.io is from.
