Why DisclosureProof only reports what it can see.

DisclosureProof is an independent, bootstrapped tool with one job: check whether a website's AI disclosures are present, the way a regulator 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 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.

How we handle data

• We fetch publicly accessible pages only. Public scans check robots.txt; a verified owner can request an override for their own domain.
• Ordinary free-scan artifacts are eligible for deletion after 7 days. Paid retention depends on the product and active subscription; research cohort records are retained indefinitely as the study audit trail.
• We don't sell scan data. Details are in the privacy policy.

Who's behind it

DisclosureProof is built and run by Alena Milan. It's a one-person operation: the same person ships the scanner, writes the country and vendor guides (each carries its review date), and reads hello@disclosureproof.com. If you spot an inaccuracy in a guide — vendor settings move, national authorities get designated — say so and it gets fixed, with the review date bumped.
