If this isn't the first site that tracks your un-followers, you may have heard of useqwitter.com. I didn't actually hear about this service until I was 2 days into my development of this service. That site does not require your password, it asks for your username and your e-mail address and it sends you an e-mail when someone unfollows you. At least that's how it's supposed to work. While I decided to continue on with my development of this site, I did sign up with useqwitter. I have not yet received a single e-mail.
This is caused by limited resources. In order to maximize the number of users who can use this service, the number of followers it can track, it leverages some of the twitter data access through your account. Looking up your followers is done through your account. By operating this way, it maximizes the amount of people who can subscribe to this service.
Additionally, at any point you feel like you are dissatisfied or you feel uncomfortable with the site having your data, you can delete it from the system. The last thing I want to do is make anyone feel uncomfortable about sharing this information.
Ultimately I will say this, if you don't trust the app, don't use it. No harm, no bad feelings :)
