That's where things get a little confusing. onyxboox.com is a site that sells Onyx devices that have been customized for the Russian market. They have unique firmwares and unique product names. Most of the security concerns in this thread seem to be about these Russian versions. The Nova is not one of these Russian versions. For various reasons, I would advise against buying one of those Russian versions.
That said, I have seen threads that have raised similar questions about the official Chinese and US devices from Onyx. However, we'd be hard-pressed to discern whether these concerns are any worse than equally legitimate concerns over what happens to our info with Google or Facebook, to name but two! I don't see Onyx as being a worse security problem than Google or Facebook or others, to be honest.
