Is FlashGet Cast safe?

FlashGet Cast‘s remote service uses p2p (peer-to-peer) direct connection technology. Transfers are done between clients only, without going through a relay server. Due to network restrictions, the transfer only goes through the relay server if the client cannot connect through the p2p channel. Our servers do not store any data and content you transmit to ensure user privacy. The content is encrypted with end-to-end AES to ensure safe transmission.
