New York state lawmakers on Thursday passed a ban on businesses setting individualized prices for consumers based on their personal data, in the strongest move yet by a state against the practice.

• If New York Governor Kathy Hochul signs it into law, the One Fair Price Act would prohibit companies from setting prices based on data that could be traced to a person or their device, such as browsing history, income and real-time location.
