I thought the concept was interesting, if a little expensive £20 (24€) per month.

The site doesn't like my Flash Player (screw them), but by reading the text (extremely useful), I can say: it doesn't look secure.

Well, yes, it can protect you from amateurs in the sense that you'll get your data back after it's all over the net. But tracking? Remote scrambling? Being unable to see the video, I have no idea how is it supposed to work, but I know that a simple shielding will disable either, so when you want to prevent industrial or government spying - it's nigh useless.
