I haven't been to the site but I can hardly imagine it being very safe. You NEED full control over the encryption keys for it to work like it's intended!

From your pc to the site the text will go there unencrypted meaning that anybody between you and the site can read your message... So.. no its not safe to use any kind of online encryption site..

Download gpg4usb and use that.  Never use an online version.

Even privnote is not safe as your msg is stored on their servers remember that
