New York Attorney General Letitia James sent a letter to Instacart demanding information about its use of algorithmic pricing, after a study found users were charged up to 23% more for identical products. The AG warned that Instacart’s pricing disclosures are non-compliant with New York’s Algorithmic Pricing Disclosure Act, which requires prominent notices near product prices when personal data is used to set prices. Instacart must provide details on its pricing experiments, automated tools, and compliance efforts with the state’s disclosure requirements.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, joined by 27 other state attorneys general and the District of Columbia, filed a lawsuit against 23andMe to block the company’s planned sale of 15 million customers’ genetic and health data without their consent or knowledge. The coalition argues 23andMe must comply with state laws requiring express informed consent for the sale or transfer of sensitive genetic data. The lawsuit seeks to prevent misuse, exposure in future breaches, and unauthorized use of customers’ private genetic information.
New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against National General Holdings Corp and Allstate Insurance Company for failing to protect personal information and notify consumers of data breaches.

New York Attorney General Letitia James settled with Saturn Technologies, developer of the Saturn social networking app for high school students, over failures to protect young users’ privacy.

Saturn will pay $650,000 in penalties and implement enhanced privacy protections for minor users, including mandatory bi-annual privacy setting reviews and data deletion requirements.
