There are indeed two options, the one where you have to trust us and the security of our server is just there to quickly test the procedure or for small amount addresses.
In both cases, the private key we send you is not the final private key, you still have to combine it with your own private key. Since we don't have that one, your address is safe.
The combination procedure is described in the solution email. I suggest you try to order a free address to see how it all works

I actually tried to order an address(1Money) with no case sensitive setting on. I thought it was free, but it turned out I had to pay 0.01 for the address
Not a particularly desirable price to pay for a 5 letter vanity with no cases.I will try with a 4 letter one though, I'll let you know how it works out

EDIT: It worked out fine. Very clear on the instructions. You probably should make it clear that you must use the "Add" option instead of "Multiply" on bitaddress.org though.
It's a very nice thing to do off them. Altough generating a 4 letter case-insensitive key with vanitygen will take you less time than generating a split keypair (and it's easyer to IMHO). It'll take you even less time with oclvanitygen.
That being said: the method itself is safe, i've seen some trusted members using the same method in the past
It's nice of them to offer this for free.
