San Marino
AI behavior law: bot and agent disclosure, crawler and training-data rules, automated-agent transactions, and algorithmic decision-making.
Summary
San Marino is not an EU or EEA member. Data protection is governed by Law No. 171 of 21 December 2018 (on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data), which is GDPR-aligned and enforced by San Marino's Garante della Privacy (Autorita Garante della Privacy). Computer crime is addressed through the San Marino Criminal Code (Codice Penale), which has been updated to include unauthorized computer access provisions — academic commentary confirms the San Marino penal framework covers computer intrusion but specific article numbers are not authoritatively confirmed in English-language sources. Copyright is governed by Law No. 8 of 25 January 1991 (as amended), aligned with the Berne Convention; no EU sui generis database right. No TDM exception. San Marino has a customs union with Italy; Italian legal influence is pervasive and Italian law applies supplementarily in many areas, though San Marino is a separate legal order. This is a low-confidence entry — very limited domestic enforcement history, no case law on scraping, English-language legal materials sparse.
