Just read a couple of the links posted recently.
From here

Phorm has initially populated the OIX with data gathered from BT, Virgin and Carphone Warehouse on users’ internet browsing habits.

Is it me, or are those statements just totally contradictory? You can't "populate" anything with that data which you don't (allegedly) retain surely?
I tend to hope that the second link is just a misunderstanding on the page author's part but given the way this phiasco has unfolded I do wonder.
Phorm are telling whoever they speak to what they think that person/organisation/group wants to hear. Maybe they're planning to stand for election somewhere
