Azerbaijan
AI behavior law: bot and agent disclosure, crawler and training-data rules, automated-agent transactions, and algorithmic decision-making.
Summary
Azerbaijan presents moderate crawling risk under general-law provisions. Criminal Code Arts. 271–273 cover illegal computer access, illegal seizure of computer information, and illegal interference with computer systems respectively; Art. 271 is the primary scraping risk vector. The Law on Personal Data (May 2010, No. 998-IIIQ) applies to personal-data processing; enforcement is via administrative and criminal sanctions. Azerbaijan enacted a dedicated Law on Legal Protection of Compilations of Data (2004, amended 2023) providing copyright-style protection for database compilations. No TDM exception exists. No English-language scraping case law found.
