The warning message that says "this app can collect all the text you enter, including personal data and credit card numbers" is part of the Android operating system default behaviour when any third party keyboard is enabled. Don't worry as this app doesn't require internet access permission and it does not collect any data.

FAQs:

Why 4 keys?

We think that an average person could accurately identify a maximum of 4 distinct areas on the screen without looking at it. Increasing to 6 keys and we already see a huge drop in accuracy. On the other hand, 2 keys would need a lot of keystrokes to uniquely identify each character on the keyboard, not to mention memorizing them.
