Saying that once opted out, no data is passed through the phorm system is a blatant lie. Even when opted out data is ALWAYS mirrored to the profiler which is part of the phorm system.

The profiler may be owned by the ISP, HOWEVER, it would be obsolete if it were not for its requirement in the chain of the phorm system. Thus, no phorm equals no profiler. Ergo the profiler is part of the phorm system and as such phorm is in part responsible for its use.

Why? Because its phorms software running on the profiler. Therefore phorm does play a significant part in the functionality of the profiler.

SO STOP SAYING Ã¢â‚¬Å“If you opt out, none of your data will pass through a Phorm-owned serverÃ¢â‚¬Â because your just using semantics.

Further more, who audits any future software upgrades or amendments to the profilier?
