Pity vm dosent say what there instructions are and if they ever leave the country  .
All this data to share with phorm yay (not) starting to get really peed off with events and people. |
I wouldn't call Phorm's profiling of
every GET request you make on the internet "occasional use" by a third party. In fact, I'd call it "
continuous use" and that is a very different thing indeed.
I don't think the above quoted T&C would stand-up for 10 seconds in court as giving permission to allow Phorm to profile
everything every customer does
all the time.
Expect to see a significantly different set of T&Cs should Phorm-Webwise ever get off the ground.
Anyway, aren't the above quotes from the Interactive TV section of the T&Cs - Broadband has it's own set.
