We don't store any personally identifiable information so there is nothing to lose. We can't accidently reveal what we don't have unlike the ad targeting systems of other major Internet companies which retain identifiable personal data for over 12 months before it is even anonymised. |
More rubbish. It doesn't highlight anything of the sort. It highlights the fact that companies are not to be trusted with personal data. There's no good reason for anyone to trust a malware company who have consistently lied, dissembled and changed the subject consistently since their plans became public.
Luckily it looks like you're not going to get away with this. I find it particularly funny that since you apparently pulled the wool over Simon Davies' eyes, another body which he sits on the board of (FIPR) have declared your technology to be illegal. It seems fairly clear-cut that Phorm along with BT have already commited criminal acts: even if you take the Home Office advice as the last judgement on the technology (which it expressly denies itself), the trials last year were offences under the RIPA.
