The answer

Gathering information about online stores does not fall under the blameworthy espionage prohibited by religious law, as stated in the verse: "And do not spy." This is because forbidden espionage targets people's private matters, faults, and secrets, and it involves searching for people's flaws and secrets that they do not wish to be revealed, whereas gathering information about online stores is not of that nature.
