Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]
Absolutely agree.
Knowing that your local shop sells condoms is not the same as knowing who buys them.
Knowing that the person who buys them has recently been looking for a divorce lawyer is extremely sensitive information.
None of this information is excluded from pofiling by Phorm.
In fact, Phorm's list of non-advertised subjects or profiled does not include legal advice or contact with the police which is about as personal as it gets and should be protected by law.
While I think about it, looking for advice regarding spousal abuse will also be profiled and adverts will be served which could result in some extremely serious consequences.
