Has anyone got a chance to use this software to control the SDS100 or the 436HP?

I know people think I'm overly critical, and I probably am. It's kept me out of some bad positions in the past.
My question is do you have to send your data through their server? Once the data hits their server, subscription or not, it is no longer yours exclusively. I wonder what their future plans involve for this data. Technically, if you're sending the data, they could redirect it to Broadcastify or set up their own streaming service with a financial benefit for them while still collecting your subscription. I know the answer is simply turn off the feed, but with a mobile and desktop app, there shouldn't be a need for either a subscription or to route through their servers. It should be a one time purchase and not involve them afterwards other than support needs. The lack of a free trial period also sets off alarms. If it's so good, there should be a try before you buy.
EDIT:
Just read the TOS. You pay them the subscription and they can use the feed any way they want.. Buyer beware.
So, you're saying that the "Icopy" part is what they do with your information and files?
Now go to work and terrorize some recruits for me.

It seems like their TOS contradicts itself... if **you** retain any and all rights to content, you should be able to opt-out of their sharing of said data. Given the fact that **you** retain those rights, you should be able to stop them from being able to share the data.
As a comparison, here are the RR terms, which I presume everyone here is cool with, seeing as you are here:“We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.
We use your Personal Information for providing and improving the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.”
“We collect this information for the purpose of providing the Service, identifying and communicating with you, responding to your requests/inquiries, servicing your purchase orders, and improving our services.”
iCopyRadio does not offer a free service for the following reasons:“With respect to text or data entered into and stored by publicly-accessible site features such as forums and database ("RadioReference.com Public Content"), the submitting user retains ownership of such RadioReference.com Public Content; with respect to publicly-available statistical content which is generated by the site to monitor and display content activity, such content is owned by RadioReference.com. In each such case, the submitting user grants RadioReference.com the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display such Content (in whole or part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, all subject to the terms of any applicable license.”

You plug your scanner into the computer and the information is sent to iCopyRadio servers. On the other desktop application approaches, your computer/network becomes a webserver that anyone and everyone can access. iCopyRadio uses secure encrypted communication, basically the same mechanisms used by your browser when you visit encrypted web pages.
With iCopyRadio, you download the desktop app, plug in your scanner, and then login where ever you want to access it, and it just works.
