In other words a OPT OUT means my data never touches any Phorm installed equipment between me and the Internet ?
Your question has been submitted to the moderator.
whats the betting that does not get answerd  |
this was his answer.
The particular server or software is less important than who controls them. The ISP will own the equipment but it may be running software from Phorm. However, the ISP has full visibility of the data that is flowing, and full control over it. As I said, the bottom line is that the ISP ensures that if you opt out, your data is never passed to Phorm.
so read yes your data goes to the Phorm kit in the Virgin POP site.
Yes Virgin will have full visibility of all my surfing habits via Phorm Deep Packet Inspection software. The question will be
Do i trust Virgin Media with that data. The answer is no due to the fact they are selling my data to a spyware and root kit company.
Could this company have a backdoor program sending the data anyway no matter what Virgin Do.
Would you trust that arrangement ????
So it looks like i will be moving to BE.
