The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has proposed a policy requiring companies to disclose the use of personalised pricing based on consumer data, aiming to prevent deceptive pricing practices. This move follows New Jersey’s Fair Price Protection Act and responds to consumer concerns over data-driven price discrimination.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of E-commerce, and 13 sources have reported it between 19 Aug 2026 and 11 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face new disclosure demands that reveal if your pricing varies by personal data. This transparency shift makes deceptive price practices visible and risky for platforms and retailers.
