Additionally, you may want to mention to them that it's been pointed out time and time again that opted out or not, everything going from/to your computer, is still logged by the Phorm servers (just as it's always been logged by the ISP's servers (contrary to their claims)).

which is why I was so very very specific in my simplistic wording of my original question relating to what data gets passed to Phorm.
So you'll will have to excuse my skepticism to the answers we've received so far as they have in no way made me feel any better about this whole affair.
