From the FAQs > Source code will be made available to customers who have been paying for at least 12 months. You will have to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and a non-compete agreement (NCA) to access the source code. You will be able to self-host and use it for yourself and your family (personal use), but not distribute it or use it for commercial purposes, without our permission. I find this very interesting, especially with respect to the NDA and its content in this specific scenario. Let’s say I pay for 12 months, plan to self-host, but then review the source code and find something quite alarming from a privacy perspective. With a signed NDA, depending on the exact wording, I might not be able to blow the whistle (unless it involves unlawful activities). I appreciate the efforts and fully understand the developer’s wish to protect his product. However, without being able to see the NDA or source code for 12 months, I would, however, be cautious regarding privacy claims (despite appearing to use Mojeek under the hood). Furthermore, while the account generation methodology is applaudable, if I change my account every month, would I still be able to review the source code and self-host after 12 months? The FAQs (or anywhere else) do not address this. I’ll review the privacy policy, in detail, later when time permits. However, if I sign an NDA and non-compete, then they would be storing personal data. Ergo, the FAQ “What personal data do you store?” is currently misleading. These are really legal/corporate issues rather than product critiques. I might give the IOS app a try
