flag Manitoba bans dynamic pricing using personal data to prevent unfair price discrimination.

flag Manitoba has introduced Bill 49 to ban retailers from using personal data, such as browsing history or location, to charge different prices for the same goods, aiming to prevent algorithm-driven price discrimination. flag The law, targeting both online and in-store shopping, would prohibit dynamic pricing based on individual profiles while allowing loyalty program discounts. flag Though no such practices have been observed in the province, the move follows a U.S. investigation into variable pricing and reflects broader concerns about fairness in digital retail. flag The bill strengthens the Business Practices Act and aligns with the NDP’s affordability efforts, though enforcement details remain unspecified.
