Monaco
AI behavior law: bot and agent disclosure, crawler and training-data rules, automated-agent transactions, and algorithmic decision-making.
Summary
Monaco is neither an EU nor EEA member. Data protection is governed by Law No. 1.565 of 3 December 2024 (on the protection of personal data), replacing the earlier Law 1.165 of 1993. The new law is GDPR-inspired and enforced by the APDP (Autorite de Protection des Donnees Personnelles), successor to CCIN; administrative fines up to EUR 10,000,000 or 4% of worldwide turnover. Monaco's Code Penal contains computer-crime provisions, but detailed English-language sourcing on the specific unauthorized-access articles is limited. Copyright is governed by sovereign ordinance and Franco-Monegasque legal tradition; no EU-style sui generis database right. No TDM exception analogous to the DSM Directive. EU AI Act does not apply. This is a low-confidence entry — a small jurisdiction with no case law on web scraping, domestic legal materials not readily available in English, and Monaco relies partly on French legal precedent as persuasive authority.
