Hi have just been reading about Phrom and was wondering if any U.K ISP ever actually put it into use? As far as I can tell there was so much objection over privacy concerns that no company ever went ahead with it.
But it got me thinking about how much information my ISP collects on my internet activity already, I have read the prvacy policy of both my current provider (SKY) and my previous provider (Talk Talk).
I cant seem to get a clear idea of what data these company's collect about my internet activities and how long they store such data, if anyone has any information on this I would be most grateful, I know there is a certain amount they must collect and store by law but as far as I'm aware this is only basic stuff such as I.P address allocation and session start and finish times, I also believe there is a limit to how long they can store these details, but what else are they getting? are they recording clickstream data, every url visited, and every keystroke and if so how long are they holding on to it?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
