I have no experience of this particular service - which looks very useful - but I would be suspicious about anybody collecting my name, email and phone number. I suspect that in this case you might start to receive email and texts from advertisers.
In their privacy statement they say: We may use the information collected automatically, such as your IP address and information stored via cookies This information may be used to provide advertising and sponsor messages to you. ... This may of course just be advertising banners while you are on their site, but it may also be texts to your entire team via teamer from third party advertisers. Just don't get me started on Facebook!
