It is simply unacceptable.

Indeed - "We have no idea" because the form calls a routine on the (Phorm owned) server to create the email. In my world of work we do this all the time on web pages, but I think we have no way of knowing what the routine on the Phorm owned server actually does. It could be storing copies of the "Sent" emails or it may be writing the field inputs to a database or it may not. Either way, their probably IS a copy in some form, somewhere, owned by Phorm or accessible to them.

Yeah, but they might not
send it it might just be collected because users are filling in the form and clicking the button. Effectively their customer/user is sending it using the "Phorm owned form". What appears to be so wrong (to me anyway) is that the form has BT all over it and not "Phorm" - deceptive little ***** - just what we have come to expect of them!

Might be stretching the facts to say Phorm are intercepting it. The user is making the input and clicking the send button and it is not being intercepted per se. No, the simple fact seems to be that the page itself and routine behind it on the server "IS PHORM". So, you are right in the sentiments - it's wrong and BT won't like being caught on this further deception...
It just all stinks, like a great big pile of stinking stuff.
