But did Phorm need to register. BT were running the trial and registered. BT could legitimately try to argue that they were passing out data for marketing purposes, something many clients agree to do on thier applications.
The vendors of say VMs billing system do not have to make a register because VM are storing their clients data on the system, they need to make a DPA registration because they are storing information on thier clients and their employees, and wow there are a lot of there and theirs in that sentence.

But most of those companies are not monopolistic suppliers. VM has a monopoly on cable broadband which to many people is the only reliable high speed broadband (comments about performance to another thread please). They live too far from a BT exchange to move to ADSL.

But now the transparent proxys have been switched off what are they storing and even then that was pull data from popular sites that meant the proxy responded, the proxy did not maintain your data, it responded to it and dropped it.

It's that simple.

A proxy will not help your data will be analysed on the way through VMs pipes (and then apparently not stored if you are opted out) on the way to this proxy.
Opt out is not true opt out someone still listens to that phone call or opens your mail, they just don't write anything down (supposedly).
