Phorm is a US-based internet advertising company which has partnered with several ISPs to analyze ISP usage, create user profiles, and with this generate targeted advertising. In the UK Phorm has partnered with BT, Virgin Media and TalkTalk to enhance their revenue from advertising, or as anti-Phorm activists report: "sell your private browsing history to an advertising broker". Questions arise about how intrusive Phorm's technology is and the safeguards placed on its database.[1]
