The Images look really cool. Just don‘t get why I have to have a google email adress and why that is needed ?

Since the service is not selfhosted I will not use it.

Giving out my Emby login, password, api key and External IP / domain to a external service is not for me.

What happens if the external service gets hacked?

Or all my info is sold to highest bet?

Hello! 

All app data and API keys are encrypted. The risk of being hacked exists whether a service is self-hosted or externally hosted — no system is completely immune.

Hello, in order to unify an account if you also use it from Android or Apple

While you may be correct, we have no way of verifying that.
