How do I know it's secure?

How do I know the BioWallet app is safe? In other words, where is my info being stored? How do I know I'm not just giving you all my passwords, credit card numbers, etc.?

UPDATE: Internet access has been removed starting with the 0.4.0 version.
Of course we are not collecting any personal information. All the sensitive data (including your biometric templates) are encrypted and stored in the phone. They are never ever sent outside the device.

There are ways to monitor the data that is transmitted from your phone and many clever guys out there. If we were sending something sensitive in a matter of hours somebody would realize and we would be in serious trouble. Believe us, we are not evil.

However, it's a beta and we do collect anonymous usage data and error information if a crash happens when using the application, that's why we need Internet permission. I will repeat it again: we only send anonymous statistics and error data, but never sensitive or personal information. That's stated in the EULA terms, but unfortunately nobody read it.

so you know some actually read the EULA, it still says you may obtain data Via Software from data being sent to your server? v0.4.1

Ooops! Thanks for pointing it out Dave, it will be corrected in the next release.
