Fiji
AI behavior law: bot and agent disclosure, crawler and training-data rules, automated-agent transactions, and algorithmic decision-making.
Summary
Fiji has a Cybercrime Act 2021 that criminalises unauthorised access to computer systems; public pages carry implicit authorisation so the Act is unlikely to apply to routine crawling. No comprehensive data-protection law exists — Cabinet endorsed a National Privacy and Personal Data Protection Policy in November 2025 but no statute has been enacted. Copyright Act 1999 (Berne-compliant, UK/AU/NZ-derived) provides fair dealing in a narrow research/criticism form; no sui generis database right and no TDM exception. Overall posture is permissive for public-page crawling of non-personal data; the main risk is the unenacted privacy policy framework and the cybercrime statute applied broadly.
