A categorical reply just now from Amazon:
Quote:
You can be assured that we take the security and privacy of our
customers' information very seriously.
We have no connections with Phorm and do not use their services
including OIX and Webwise.
Please note that we are not in a position to control the software or
other devices used by your internet service provider. If you are
concerned by the use of Phorm or other devices by your internet
service provider we can only encourage you to contact your internet
service provider directly to solve the issue.

I would take "We have no connections with Phorm" to mean that in addition to having no plans for Phorm/OIX, they are not in serious discussions with them. Frankly I don't see that Phorm would have anything to offer Amazon which is why I was surprised by their initial reply to Florence, although that may simply have come from a confused junior.
I think I am reassured. Any views?
