Proof beats promises.

DisclosureProof is an independent, bootstrapped tool with one job: check whether a website's AI disclosures are actually there — the way a regulator, a journalist, or opposing counsel would check — and preserve dated evidence of what was found.

It exists because the EU AI Act's Article 50 made a specific kind of compliance unusually easy to verify from the outside. From 2 August 2026, a chatbot that doesn't say it's AI, an AI-generated image with no machine-readable marking, or an unlabeled AI-written article is visible to anyone who looks. Most compliance tooling answers this with questionnaires you fill in about yourself. We think the more useful question is: what does your site actually show?

What the scanner does

• Loads your page in a real browser — desktop and mobile — and opens your chat widget like a first-time visitor, recording whether an AI disclosure appears at first interaction.
• Samples published media for C2PA / Content Credentials and IPTC provenance metadata.
• Checks article-like pages for visible AI-content labels and looks for an AI policy page.
• Hashes every captured artifact (screenshots, panel text, manifests) with SHA-256 into a sealed, tamper-evident evidence record.

What it deliberately doesn't claim

A scan reports what was detected, not detected, or couldn't be verified. It never declares a site "compliant" or "in violation" — parts of Article 50 can't be judged from the outside, legal conclusions depend on context, and we're a technical instrument, not a law firm. Findings link to the rule they map to so you and your counsel can make the call. That restraint is deliberate, and it's also why the evidence we produce is worth keeping: it records facts, not opinions.

How we handle data

• We fetch publicly accessible pages only, and respect robots.txt for any crawling beyond the URL you submit.
• Free-scan artifacts are retained for a limited window (currently 7 days), paid evidence for the customer's retention term.
• We don't sell scan data. Details are in the privacy policy.

Who's behind it

DisclosureProof is built and operated independently, with a publisher's background in the practical side of content compliance — the team ships the scanner, writes the country and vendor guides with cited sources and visible review dates, and answers hello@disclosureproof.com directly. If you spot an inaccuracy in a guide — vendor settings move, national authorities get designated — tell us and we'll fix it and update the review date.
