I suppose again, strictly speaking
, (and correct me again if I am wrong) while Phorm may have decided at the time not to intercept flow, initially to avoid the redirect issues for Safari browsers and therefore not serve the adverts, the data itself is still intercepted (as it effectively still in-line).
The difference being is that they are inasmuch simulating an opt out scenario.
It is my understanding that there is still nothing theoretically and technically speaking that could stop Phorm copying everything that is going on in that particular browsing session for whatever reason. Unless Opt out totally avoids Phorm's equipment altogether at account level we are relying purely on trust that this does not and will not occur.
