Is pregnancy or abortion a "medical" subject? Ditto suicide or depression.
How will Webwise distinguish between a search for "depression" relating to economics and "depression" as a medical condition?
There are far to many examples to list but the lack of answers and clarity on these basic issues makes me furious especially as the ICO and other official bodies have accepted Phorm's privacy claims without actually bothering to question their validity or viability.

yep,
far more information or in phorm speak "transparancy" (but transparancy in the true meaning of the word)
so we can get a better idea of exactly what information wil be profiled and the sources it is gather from
PEOPLE need a way of once the system is live of seeing what is contained in "THEIR" profile, but i think if people could see the vast array and amount of information stored they would opt out like a turkey would opt-out of xmas and phorm would be dead in the water , so thats not going to happen
