They are, partly. The company itself is American, but the software used is written by people linked to Russian military intelligence.

The problem is that the leaked BT technical presentation (they have already trialled the system despite stating they haven't) makes it look that the system can work in two ways: One prevents the system from tracking you if you opt out, and the other just blocks the ads.
That, plus the fact that Phorm themselves have been linked with the creation of rootkits leads me not to trust them.
