Every jurisdiction, against the eight categories
267 jurisdictions, each with its own answer to the eight questions, the audit the law there expects, and the population the share tables weight it by.
- 267jurisdictions
- 1,547instruments in force
- 128rows with an answer
- 39queued for research
How much of this is measured. 204 of the 1,547 instruments in force across the four topics have been read for the logging question, covering 112 of 267 jurisdictions. Every cell below that says not researched is one we have not read yet, and it says nothing about the law there.
What the law expects of an audit is a separate question, answered by earlier work on a different wave, and it has been read for 128 jurisdictions. It sits on the same tables and moves on its own schedule, so a jurisdiction can carry an audit answer and no category answer, or the other way round.
39 instruments are queued for this question, first filed 7 September 2026 and covering 146 jurisdictions in the AI topic. Nothing has been filed yet for Privacy, Age assurance or Scraping.
Reading a row
- yes
- An instrument in force names logs, records or an audit trail outright.
- partial
- An instrument in force requires something that cannot be shown without a record, without naming one. The duty is real and its shape is not stated.
- no duty
- Every instrument in force in that topic has been read, and none of them asks for a record. This is a finding about the law.
- not researched
- We have not read the instruments for this question yet. This is a gap in our work and says nothing about the law.
A subnational row is marked as one. It is shown because the law there is real and a developer operating there is bound by it, and it is never added into a share on the requirements page, because the people it governs are already counted in their country's row.
The population figure is the one the shares are computed from, with the publisher and the year underneath it so a reader can check rather than take it. A jurisdiction we hold no population figure for says so, and it is counted in the jurisdiction column of the share tables and left out of the percentages, which is what keeps a missing figure visible instead of arriving as a zero.
128 of the 267 rows carry an answer to anything. Where a category column is still empty it says not researched rather than leaving a blank a reader would have to interpret.
The climate band is a slot rather than a column with data in it. It is kept here, saying it is unscored, because the slot is part of what this table is for review of: a band added later keys on the jurisdiction and the topic together, and a reader should be able to see now where it will sit.
Every jurisdiction's name links to its page in the corpus, which carries the instruments behind the row, their citations, their status and their sources. A name is what the corpus calls the place rather than what the slug in a database says, and the flag beside it is the one the rest of the site draws for that jurisdiction.
Eleven columns. On a narrow screen the table scrolls sideways rather than reflowing, because a matrix whose columns have been stacked is no longer a matrix.
| Jurisdiction | A record at all | Which system, which actor | Where a person was | What went in and out | Why the outcome | Which person, which place | Whether it can be trusted | Kept how long, shown to whom | Audit expected | People | Climate band |

LexLint is a research index and a lint, not a lawyer. These pages describe published law as read on the date beside each figure, and set out what would have to be recorded to show it was followed. They do not apply that law to any product, project or organisation, and they are not a certification, an assurance or a compliance programme. Whether a duty reaches a particular system, and what to do about it, is a question for counsel.
The instruments behind every figure are on the LexLint software-law corpus, indexed by jurisdiction and dated on every row. The terms these pages share are defined in the LexLint glossary.
