Plain-Language Summary

AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Utah's new Consumer Pricing Act prohibits businesses from using a customer's personal data — including location, web browsing history, biometric data, purchase history, or inferences drawn from that data — to set individualized prices for goods or services. Businesses are still allowed to use a customer's purchase history to run loyalty programs or offer discounts. Businesses that use automated pricing systems must retain the data those systems use to set prices for at least three years, and the Division of Consumer Protection can impose fines of up to $2,500 per violation and take violators to court.
