Overview
The Fair Price Protection Act aims to prevent businesses from using personal data to unfairly set prices for groceries and other foodstuffs. It prohibits ‘personalized algorithmic pricing’ and ‘surveillance pricing,’ which rely on data to adjust prices for individual consumers. The bill also introduces a one-year moratorium on the use of electronic shelf labels that could be used to implement these pricing strategies, requiring a study on their potential impact. Businesses can offer legitimate discounts based on costs or bona fide loyalty programs, but any use of personal data for pricing must be transparent and not discriminatory.
