1. A computer-implemented method for providing price comparison data to a user device associated with a user, the method comprising:
obtaining, via at least one processor, preliminary transaction data including one or more receipts corresponding to one or more executed purchases of a product by one or more persons other than the user, and not including transaction data of the user, wherein the one or more receipts include one or more different categories of data;
for each of the one or more receipts, identifying, via the at least one processor: (i) one or more of a location, a price, or a time associated with a corresponding executed purchase, and (ii) personally identifying information associated with the person that executed the corresponding purchase;
generating, via the at least one processor, anonymized transaction data based on the preliminary transaction data by:
obtaining, from a memory associated with a transaction entity, one or more translation codes that correspond to the one or more categories of data included in the one or more receipts;
applying the one or more translation codes to the one or more receipts so as to generate standardized transaction data that converts the one or more different categories of data into a standardized form; and
withholding and/or excluding the identified personally identifying information, wherein the anonymized transaction information includes the identified one or more location, price, or time associated with the one or more executed purchases by the one or more persons other than the user; and
transmitting the anonymized transaction data to the user device.
