Mind you, some of the blurb on their website reads very similar to the Phorm BS to me! At Hitwise, our DNA is based on three values: Integrity, Innovation and Exceptional Client Service. These values form the basis of everything we do – including how we interact with our clients - and are detailed in the Hitwise Client Commitment statement:
1. Integrity
* Clients will experience the highest levels of integrity, ethics and respect at all times from all Hitwise employees.
* Hitwise will always respect client privacy.
* Any sensitive information clients share with Hitwise is treated with strict confidentiality.
* We do what we say we will do.

"Hitwise is an internet monitor which collects data directly from ISP networks. Hitwise bands the aggregate usage information into commercial verticals (travel, finance, retail, etc).
The Hitwise product is a commercial platform whereby customers pay Hitwise a premium to access data reports for their vertical."

you always need to keep in mind all the CRA's customers/
Clients are the other companies, NOT you or i as end users, we are just the sheeple that bug them with our DPA requests etc.
its no wonder they are not really interested in the ad space as their primary goal.
theres far more money in collecting the end users data directly from the ISP's and they know it, be sure they have learned from the surlyBonds thread i pointed to and they will be trying to fool you at every step, dont fall for it my friend.
