Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
Grocery store owners and delivery service operators would need to ensure their pricing technology does not use personal consumer data to set individualized prices. While this could limit revenue optimization strategies, it also levels the playing field against larger competitors with more advanced data-driven pricing tools. Small stores under 15,000 square feet are exempt entirely.
“a covered entity may not use any technology that uses the personal data of a consumer to engage in dynamic pricing.”
