Combined with other interconnected devices and AI technology, the labels can also be used to make the shopping experience more personalized by performing “advanced data collection and analysis,” which leads to “greater profits and higher levels of consumer trust,” according to JRTech Solutions Inc., the Canadian retailer Sobeys is getting the labels from.

GDPR is not properly enforced against us mega corpos...
