I have thought about this before and wondered if they would try to pass the responsibility of fully informing the user of the interception and profiling down to the account holder (customer). Not sure if they could get around the laws like this but it would require them to sign people up to the Phorm service [sic] specifically with its own T&C's in which case they'll not get many if any people doing so.
