We think it is unethical of the Register to seek to undermine a technology that enhances online privacy - Phorm's system ensures that ads are served with no data storage - something that will benefit readers of the Register and other websites.

In the interests of balance, we would like the Register to reflect the improved privacy environment Phorm provides over the other major online ad targeting companies detailed in the attached table.

Well online privacy with Phorm who do not keep any data, is surely better than anyone else who do keep data for long periods of time, such as Google. As shown in the diagram that Phorm used http://regmedia.co.uk/2008/03/31/phorm_comparison.jpg
