United States of America: Grubhub opens federal complaint against NYC food delivery service data sharing bill

On 10 December 2021, food delivery service provider Grubhub has opened a federal complaint against the City of New York, seeking a permanent injunction against and trial on the bill allowing food service providers to request customer data from delivery platforms, subject to a customer opt-out. The Bill became law on 29 August 2021 and is set to come into force on 27 December 2021, although the City of New York announced on 4 October 2021 that it was postponing enforcement of the Bill until conclusion of an ongoing lawsuit. Previous lawsuits on the same issue were filed by delivery service providers Doordash and Uber, on 15 September 2021 and 3 December 2021 respectively.
