Can a users browsing history be identified if the government or ISP requests it?
No. The browsing history is not stored in any way. The unique fundamental design of this technology ensures that consumer privacy is protected and that, even under compulsion, no personally-identifying data or detailed browsing data can be retroactively provided to anyone. The privacy claims Phorm make about its technology’s use of consumer data have been verified by leading global auditing firm Ernst & Young.
