Open Prices - Access to Information requests (GDPR requests)

As part of Project:Open-Prices, we need price points for products, loads of them.

If you have a fidelity card, you can ask your data, using the GDPR (if you're in a EU country, or using other laws if you're elsewhere). https://wiki.openfoodfacts.org/GDPR_request#Korea

Follow Open Food Facts on social media

• Open Food Facts has created presence on social media over the years in many languages. We now have the capacity to produce content in English and French, but we have a harder time translating and posting to all accounts. You can help by joining the marketing channel on Slack, and proposing to help for your language/country. Please get in touch with the permanent team before anything.
