stuartc - phorm does not look at encrypted sites, so I don't have a problem. It also does not monitor passwords etc.
Concerns about hackers are irrelevant - if they can hack into the ISPs computers, where the date will be held, then they can hack into everything anyway.

thebarron - I too would not give such details as I don't want cold callers on the phone.
Phorm though doesn't keep any data for any significant period (argue away !) so does not invade my privacy in the same way.
