EXCLUSIVE: US FTC demands Walmart, Uber, Delta and others hand over data on personalized pricing

The US Federal Trade Commission has issued information demands to Walmart, Uber and Delta, along with seven other companies, seeking details on whether and how they use consumers’ personal data—including location, browsing history and income—to set individualized prices, wages and job offers.

Target, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart, United and JetBlue are also named. The FTC is using its consumer protection powers ahead of next week’s congressional elections.
