Are you curious about the data protection implications of online price discrimination?
While the practice of price discrimination is not at all new, the introduction of “big data” has given this practice a new and legally questionable twist. Given the fact that online price discrimination is shown to raise concerns from the perspective of social welfare and its distribution, and is met with much opposition by society, a valid question is if existing law can be of help. One field of law that can be turned to for further assistance is that of privacy and data protection.
In the first episode of The Law of Tech Podcast, I explored and discussed the practice of online price discrimination in the light of EU Data Protection Law with Leiden Law School PhD Candidate Kimia Heidary.
For this episode, and as part of launching The Law of Tech, I have partnered up with CPDP for its 14th international conference on computers, privacy and data protection, during which the Podcast will be shared in CPDP’s media corner along with a selection of other thought-provoking podcasts.
