Mozambique
AI behavior law: bot and agent disclosure, crawler and training-data rules, automated-agent transactions, and algorithmic decision-making.
Summary
Mozambique's digital legal framework is thin but rapidly developing. No comprehensive personal data protection law is in force as of May 2026; a DP Bill was published for public consultation in September 2025 and is expected to be ready by June 2026. The Assembly of the Republic passed a Cybersecurity Law and a Cybercrime Law in April 2026 (confirmed by TechAfrica News, ITWeb Africa, Club of Mozambique); however, as of the as_of_date, Presidential assent and gazette commencement details are not yet confirmed in available primary sources. Mozambique is a Lusophone civil-law jurisdiction. No sui generis database right. No TDM exception. Without a data protection law in force and with cybercrime law commencement unconfirmed, the formal lawful-basis and computer-access frameworks are transitional. This record requires early refresh once gazette publication is confirmed.
