Chad
AI behavior law: bot and agent disclosure, crawler and training-data rules, automated-agent transactions, and algorithmic decision-making.
Summary
Chad enacted two digital laws on February 10, 2015: Law No. 007/PR/2015 on the Protection of Personal Data, and Law No. 009/PR/2015 on Cybersecurity and the Fight against Cybercrime. Act No. 006/PR/2015 established the National Agency for Computer Security and Electronic Certification (ANSICE). ANSICE became fully operational in 2020 and is now active in cybersecurity and data protection, conducting data-controller registration and enforcement actions. The 2017 Penal Code incorporates cybercrime provisions from Law 009/PR/2015 (Book 6, Chapter 2). The data protection law (007/PR/2015) is modelled on the ECOWAS Supplementary Act on Personal Data Protection (2010) and covers any processing of personal data within Chad. No specific TDM exception. No EU-style sui generis database right; Chad is an OAPI member so original compilations receive copyright protection. No scraping case law identified. Confidence raised to medium: the three 2015 laws are consistently cited by DLA Piper, DataGuidance, DataProtection.africa, and Hogan Lovells; ANSICE operational status confirmed (became operational 2020, enforcement active).
