Discounters and supermarkets advertise with discounts if you use their free app in return. But instead of using money you pay with your own data. By P. Jens and F. Siegel.

Unlock discounts and save: Millions use the "Lidl Plus" app. But: The benefits of shopping are only in exchange for personal data. This is not transparent enough for some.
The consumer center is bringing the Lidl Plus app to justice. Main criticism: Although the app is free, users pay with personal data.
Consumer protectors are complaining about the discounter because consumers are not sufficiently informed about what is happening to their data.
The Lidl Plus app, which is used by millions of Germans, regularly provides customers with discounted or gifted products. However, the fact that the customers pay with the personal data, which are collected in large quantities, is not mentioned. Against the discounter has now been filed lawsuit on omission.
