Over the past 2 weeks Phorm have worked very hard to say no personal data, yada yada is collected.
However the patent aplication tells a different story from the spin.
Below is my post from the spy forum, and I would love to hear from Phorm and the PR people if they dont keep personal data, why have the spent the time and effort in papenting a technology that not only does keep personal data, but goes far wors into invading privacy then the public statements ever said.
Below is my post on the spy forum (bigbadcol) aka (bubblehelp)
I am sick of Phorm and the misleading spin they are placing on this. As the patent application clearly shows . Too many lies have been told by phorm and the PR team. All of which can be proved to be deception to the community.
http://www.freshpatents.com/Targeted...hp?type=claims
for example
"where the script is configured to set a cookie in the browser, and where the cookie contains at least a portion of the browsing information. "
A COOKIE CAN BE TRACKED. IT IS STORING PERSONAL BROWSING INFORMATION. You lie Phorm
"Context reader 40 is not limited to acquiring keyword or other contextual information pertaining to a given web page. Indeed, the browsing information may be collected so as to also include historical data pertaining to the browsing performed "
Again Phorm have been lying. The truthe of the matter is in the patent.
"Based on analysis occurring at the proxy server, the proxy server may modify client-requested data it receives so that a targeted advertisement appears on a web page requested by a client"
So you are changing the data stream Changing the requested data. Lie number 3 Phorm.
SPIN AND MORE SPIN WILL NOT CHANGE THE FACT OF THE PATENT APPLICATION.
And you say you dont collect personal data do you. Er this is what your patent says
"As explained above, the context reader may be configured to more than just keyword and other contextual data pertaining to a given web page. The context reader may also include behavioral data (e.g, browsing behavior), other historical data collected over time, demographic data associated with the user, IP address, URL data, etc."
Note the section
"The context reader may also include behavioral data (e.g, browsing behavior), other historical data collected over time, demographic data associated with the user, IP address, URL data, etc."
Er whats that you say -"you dont collect IP addresses. Your patent says... YOU DO.
You Lie Again Phorm
