It is not the first service of its kind in the market, and we are quite sure that it won’t be the last, either.

However, the CyanogenMod team prides themselves in touting that this particular solution is a whole lot more secure, and considering how the code is open source, users are more than welcome to check out the code and see how everything works, including whether there are any kinds of security and privacy vulnerabilities to look into. All data will be encrypted, and fret not, the CyanogenMod team has no intention of selling your data to make a quick buck.
