Hi,
Many people are more and more concerned about privacy and security. The goal of this post is not to hear that people concerned about security and privacy should run stock.
Many threads over internet, over xda and reviews in Play are spreading assumptions about the security concerns since SuperSU is taken by an unknown, discrete and rather secret organisation, CCMT.
We all know the concerns spread over King root in the past.
There are no clarifications either from Chainfire or CCMT about their privacy policy. The supersu.com site has no indications about any physical identity or headquarters. There is no mention of any privacy policy statement. Any post related to these questions in other threads is wiped by mods as out of topic.
Many people over the years never trusted SuperSU as an app, but rather a human known as Chainfire. His reputation over xda community made him above any questioning.
Now, the privacy concerns around a so powerful application rely on a new owner: CCMT. The new owner is secret, has no physical identity, no previous reputation, no nationality and no privacy policy at all. It is releasing new GUI versions that even Chainfire states he is not aware of.
So, like many people, I am questioning my self about CCMT, their origin and their privacy policy. Over the years, I never thought a second to question on Chainfire, but, like many, I feel the right to ask it now.
I am expecting from this thread more clarifications about basic things: CCMT identity, headquarters, privacy policy, national affiliations (Europe / US vs Asia...)... so that anyone can decide to trust them or not
