1) what the hell does this have to do with bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency? It's just a centralized service that uses basic cryptography. Why would people trust your service? it can be hacked, your internal database modified, etc.
It's bitcoin addresses that are logged and so the association with cryptocurrency, we take every security precaution, master keys are not stored, subkey addresses are hashed, etc.

Well that's a murderer and there's no stopping him.
