Just added this description to the drag and drop client:

What happens with my files?

Your files will be uploaded to our servers. We keep them around until Font Bakery finished running the checks and creating its report. After checking, your files are removed from our servers.

The Font Bakery report created for your files, however, remains in our database, so that you can share and revisit the link to the report. Everyone with the link can view a report. The link contains the random unique ID of the report, created by the database server, it should be really hard to guess. We do not keep outline data or actual font files, but, the report can contain some detailed information about your fonts, like file names, name table entries and generally problems found in your fonts and metadata etc.

For further questions, discussion and bug reports please see our GitHub issue tracker.
