Oh, and thanks for replying in person!
I was wondering the same thing myself. Using an AddOn to dump data to a SavedVariable (which is written at either log out or by reloading the UI), then have the updater/sync program grab that data is the legal way to do it. This is how WoWHead and others get their data.

I look foward to seeing how this plays out as the service looks very promising.
