Hi,

Thanks for pointing out the possible personal data leak. It's testaccount data to a server that get's cleared every now and then and is just experimental.

The idea at hand is to allow people to use etherpad on a server and store their pads on a different one. In case the server goes down and also for privacy.
This is partly what unhosted is about. Check out their website for a quick idea:

Here's a short discussion about this change and the underlying ueberDB proof of concept:
