  • Rules: 1 for some sectors only.
  • In the API: markets=sn
Updated 4 November 2026; sources checked 4 November 2026. Sources are government sites. This page explains what Kennmarq.com does; it isn't legal advice.

For journalists and media technicians, publishing a montage of a person's words or image without consent breaches privacy, flagged or not (Press Code art. 17).

Rules for specific sectors

News and broadcast media

  • Press Code (Law 2017-27), Art. 13: In force since 19 August 2017. Flag image and sound montages in what they publish or broadcast; a general editing rule that does not name AI.

In the API

Send markets=sn on each call to POST /v1/mark: a call that lacks what Senegal's rules need is refused before anything is counted, and each mark gets a receipt of what it carries for each law.

SongWatermark and Content CredentialsRefused for now: a song can't carry a visible label, and spoken notices for deep fakes aren't available yet: leave "deepfake" off for songs.
