Grundpreis (per-unit price)
German law mandates per-unit pricing (per kg, per litre, per 100g) on grocery. We capture Grundpreis as a structured field — critical for grocery comparison.
MwSt-inclusive display
German retailers display gross prices including 19% MwSt. We capture as displayed; net prices derivable on request.
Lidl Plus / member tiers
Lidl Plus app-exclusive prices, Payback partnerships, member-only deals tagged separately so MAP audits catch them.
Weekly Prospekt aware
Lidl, Aldi, MediaMarkt-Saturn run weekly Prospekte (typically Mondays in DE). Capture cadence ramps automatically.
GDPR-aligned practice: We scrape only publicly accessible product, pricing and stock data — no personal data is collected, processed or stored. All capture aligns with GDPR Article 6 lawful-basis frameworks. Data residency and on-EU-infrastructure delivery available for enterprise clients with specific requirements.
