Chase Media Solutions Incident
Following the acquisition of Figg on April 3rd, 2024, Chase launched "Chase Media Solutions". This was sold to investors as an a new frontier of advertising based on the claims companies who partner with Chase will have the ability use Chase first-party transaction data to target deals and advertisements on customers based on purchase history.[2] To test the service Chase worked with Air Canada, Solo Stove, Blue Bottle, and Whataburger. Air Canada saw an over $2.3m increase in sales during the first test as a result of this program.[3]
Reception
This decision has came at the cost of consumer backlash, who complain there is no way to opt out of their data being used for these purposes. Many critics also complain that sharing personal purchases is a privacy violation and shows their banks lack of transparency.[4]
Broader Implications

- Large cooperation's mask their data collection agreement in overly large privacy policies.
- Siphon data from their users.
- Provide no way or no easy way to opt out of the data collection.
