This paper identifies relevant issues at the intersection between competition, consumer protection and privacy. It is based on a review of academic literature and nearly a dozen agency responses. The issues identified consist of a structured list of descriptive and non-conclusive considerations that might arise at the intersection coupled with some open questions for further analysis, with the understanding that not all considerations may be appropriate in all jurisdictions due to the specific legal, legislative, regulatory or political regimes in which competition agencies operate.
