Dominica
AI behavior law: bot and agent disclosure, crawler and training-data rules, automated-agent transactions, and algorithmic decision-making.
Summary
Dominica has minimal dedicated digital law relevant to web scraping. The Electronic Evidence Act 2010 addresses admissibility of electronic records but does not create computer-access offences. An Electronic Crimes Bill (broadly aligned with the Budapest Convention) was tabled but has not been enacted as of the research date; regional assessments confirm Dominica lacks enacted cybercrime legislation. No comprehensive data protection act has been passed; a constitutional privacy right exists (Constitution Order 1978, Ch. I s.9) but affords no data-processing framework. OECS regional harmonization efforts (from 2022) have not yet yielded enacted legislation in Dominica. Overall risk posture is governed by residual common law and constitutional privacy, not a specific statutory regime. Given absent legislation, risk of criminal liability for public-page crawling is very low; risk from collecting personal data is governed by common law privacy principles only.
