BT must ensure that the main characteristics of the product are clear – benefits of the product, risks of the product, and especially the motives of the commercial practice. It is obvious that BT’s real motive behind BTWebwise is to collect revenue from selling BT customers’ browsing habits to phorm. The promise of anti-phishing technology and better-suited advertising is a smoke-screen. This is a blatant Misleading Omission that can’t be justified by hiding it away in the small print of the T&Cs, if that is BT’s intention. BT must inform customers more comprehensively than this if it is to demonstrate that due diligence that it keeps trumpeting.

gnilddif,

you need to be careful about the selling of data,

if you read what they do they do not sell the data as they own (it is gifted to them by phorm) the dpi kit and adserver, they get a share of the revenue from the adverts served, subtle difference i know but they can simply argue they do not sell the data and ignore point 2

And that is surely a gross indecent act against the State. Make a wrong move and it can be treasonable.
