Temu has agreed to a settlement in the United States that will cost the online marketplace three million dollars over its treatment of customer data. The agreement does not end with the payment, given that additional penalties are built in for any future violation of certain rules. Temu built its name on rock-bottom prices and listings shipped straight from sellers abroad, a model that pulls in enormous volumes of shopper information. That same data flow is what put the platform on the radar of American regulators. Settlements of this type usually come with compliance demands that change how a company collects and handles personal information. For a company Temu's size, three million dollars is small money, but the threat of further fines gives the deal its bite. The case adds to the scrutiny facing foreign shopping apps in Washington over the way they handle American users' details.
