You're right; it's not a legal requirement, but it is an integral part of the "due process" and so Phorm were always going to undertake a PIA so that they could claim to have conducted "all due diligence". That being the case, I would much prefer the PIA to be undertaken by an organisation/individual with links to successful privacy campaigning than by a fly-by-night outfit I'd never heard of. I think the chances of Phorm getting the report 100% their way is much reduced that way, don't you? [
again: pragmatism, not idealism]
