A citation is an address, not a summary. The first part names the law; what follows narrows it to the exact section, article or paragraph.
In force since 3 May 2001.
A database right rule binding public and private bodies.
As of 6 September 2026.
What it requires
- Do not extract or reuse the whole, or a substantial part evaluated qualitatively or quantitatively, of the contents of a database protected under this article without the producer's authorization.
- Do not repeatedly and systematically extract or reuse insubstantial parts of a database's contents where doing so conflicts with the database's normal exploitation or unreasonably prejudices the producer's legitimate interests.
What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
A database producer may forbid extraction or reuse of the whole, or a qualitatively or quantitatively substantial part, of the database's contents, and may also forbid the repeated and systematic extraction or reuse of insubstantial parts where that conflicts with normal exploitation of the database or unreasonably prejudices the producer's legitimate interests.
Extraction is defined as the permanent or temporary transfer of all or a substantial part of the contents to another medium by any means, and reuse as any form of making the contents available to the public, excluding public lending in both cases. The right, part of the original 2001 law implementing the EU Database Directive, is unaffected by the 2022 Digital Single Market transposition, which did not amend article 67.
