No worries on "sounding negative". The nature of GPS tracking lends itself to questions of this sort all the time. Let me get right to your questions.
1. Administrative Access: Each BETA user is being setup on their own account, and as such, only you will be monitoring the administrative end. I myself have access to view all accounts, as I need to have this ability to troubleshoot clients. If support at SIM (my company) couldn't view client accounts, it would be hard to help you out.
2. Misuse of Data: The data we see is only used for troubleshooting purposes. As far as it goes for the data gathered from the BETA program, we just want to see that it works for your BB/Network combination. When the BETA program completes (most likely August 25), all accounts and data will be purged from the system. And for misuse of data by a user (such as a BETA user of eventual client), I can't speak for HOW it would be misused, it's your data.
3. This BETA is only for testing out devices and networks. We believe our application works for a variety of network types, but can't know for sure unless we have users like yourself try it for us. Our major concern is APN needs for different networks, and how the MapQuest mapping functions in areas all over the world. Most of our development is complete, with minor tweaks occurring to the GUI and terminology. If you are concerned with compensation for your time, there is a questionnaire we would like filled out, and if this is complete, I can offer a month of free service if you sign up for an account.
I hope this answers your questions, but if not, keep asking away!
