Walmart denies using personal data for pricing as digital shelf labels expand
Original: Walmart says it's not using personal information to set prices as it expands digital shelf labels
Walmart says it does not use customers' personal information to set prices, pushing back on privacy concerns as it rolls out digital shelf labels across more of its US stores. The retailer says the electronic tags allow faster price updates and clearer labelling, but the expansion has raised questions about whether dynamic, personalised pricing could follow. Walmart maintains prices will not vary based on individual shopper data.
Why now: Consumers are anxious that electronic shelf-label technology could enable surveillance-based or personalised pricing at major retailers.
