Klarvo AI Transparency for EU AI Act

Description

The EU AI Act’s transparency rules — Article 50 — start to apply on 2 August 2026. If your website uses AI in any form — a chatbot, AI-written posts, AI personalisation, AI-generated images — your visitors have a right to be told. Most plugins hand you a generic banner and leave the hard part, working out what actually applies to you, on your desk.

Klarvo does the hard part for you. Activate it and, in about a minute, you have a clear answer and the disclosures already in place.

From the moment you activate it

  1. It scans your whole site against a living registry of 1,800+ AI tools — chatbots, content generators, translation, personalisation, search and more — and finds the AI you’re actually running.
  2. It gives you one honest answer — an AI Act Readiness score out of 100 and a plain traffic light: Covered, Action needed, or At risk. No jargon, no fear.
  3. It tells you what that means for you, in plain English, with the exact part of the law one click away.
  4. It sets your disclosures up for you — a compliant Article 50 notice, an AI usage statement page, a chatbot label, AI-content labelling — then keeps watching, re-checking automatically whenever your site changes.

It works the moment it’s active — no account, no API key, nothing to wire up. A free Klarvo account is optional and only adds features; your protection runs either way.

Found no AI? You’re still covered.

Most websites don’t use AI that triggers a disclosure duty — and Klarvo tells you so, clearly, with a clean 100/100 and a green light, instead of leaving you to guess. Then it keeps watch: add a chatbot or AI content next month and Klarvo spots it and tells you exactly what to do. You never have to remember to check.

Everything it does — standalone, no account

  • One Compliance Dashboard. Your readiness score, a traffic light, and every finding spelled out: what we found, what the law says, and a button that fixes it.
  • A one-minute setup wizard. Auto-detects what it can, asks only what it can’t, then creates your disclosures for you — live on your site.
  • A compliant Article 50 notice. Accessible, isolated in a Shadow DOM so it never collides with your theme. Light, dark or auto; badge or bar.
  • A point-of-interaction chatbot label. A clear “you’re talking to AI” cue where the conversation happens (Article 50(1)), with a ready-made greeting snippet.
  • AI-content marking. Mark posts or pages as AI-generated, one at a time or in bulk, with the right Article 50 disclosure.
  • An AI usage statement page, written for you and tailored to your site.
  • An always-on watchtower. Re-checks automatically when a plugin or post changes, and keeps your detection registry current.
  • Accessible & private by default. Keyboard-navigable, screen-reader correct, WCAG AA contrast, respects reduced-motion and colour-scheme. No cookies, no tracking — in standalone mode nothing is sent anywhere.

New in 4.1 — turn “I think we’re fine” into proof you can hold

  • Law-change radar. A dated, curated view of how the EU AI Act’s transparency rules are actually moving — the 2 August 2026 date, the AI-literacy duty already in force, the Code of Practice and guidelines being finalised — flagging what affects your site. A signal, never a scare.
  • AI Act Readiness Report. A dated, shareable report (save it as a PDF from your browser) of the AI on your site, your Article 50 obligations, and the disclosures in place. Your evidence that you checked.
  • Deepfake & AI-image labelling (Article 50(4)). Mark a realistic AI-generated or manipulated image and Klarvo adds a clear, visible “AI-generated” label wherever it appears — and can preserve Content Credentials (C2PA) when WordPress resizes it.
  • AI-literacy pack (Article 4). A short, site-specific briefing for your team plus a simple acknowledgement register — both downloadable as a dated record. A proportionate way for a small team to show it took the duty seriously.
  • EU AI Act self-assessment. A few honest questions produce a tailored checklist of what genuinely applies to you, a dated record to keep, and plain-English answers to the things most guidance gets wrong.

Optional: connect a free Klarvo account

  • Sync detected tools to Klarvo so your full EU AI Act inventory starts already populated.
  • Pull app-managed disclosure text straight into your notice.
  • Manage multiple sites and keep a durable record from one place.

Honest about the law (a lot of advice online gets these wrong)

Klarvo is a technical transparency tool, not legal advice, and installing it does not by itself make you compliant. A few things worth knowing:

  • There is no small-business exemption from Article 50 — it applies to organisations of every size.
  • You don’t have to label every AI-assisted blog post — Article 50(4) targets realistic deepfakes and public-interest text published without human review.
  • The high-risk rules were deferred, but Article 50 keeps its 2 August 2026 date.

That’s it. No API key, no configuration, no account required.

FAQ

Do I really need this before 2 August 2026?

If your site uses AI that visitors interact with or consume — a chatbot, AI-written content, AI-generated images — then Article 50 expects you to disclose it from 2 August 2026. Klarvo finds what applies to you and puts the disclosures in place now, so the date is a non-event.

Is it actually free?

Yes. The scan, the readiness score, the Article 50 notice, the setup wizard, content and image labelling, the readiness report, the literacy pack and the self-assessment all work fully on their own, with no account. A free Klarvo account only adds optional syncing, app-managed text and multi-site management.

My site doesn’t use AI. Is this still useful?

Yes — that’s exactly when peace of mind matters. Klarvo confirms you’re covered, then keeps watching, so if you add a chatbot or AI content later it spots it and tells you what to do. You never have to remember to check.

Does it send my data anywhere?

In standalone mode, no — nothing leaves your site. If you connect a Klarvo account, the plugin talks only to Klarvo’s API to sync your detected tools and pull your disclosure text. The detection-registry refresh uses a public, anonymous endpoint.

Will it slow my site down?

No. The notice loads after your page (deferred), renders in an isolated Shadow DOM, and adds no layout shift. The scan runs in your admin, never on visitor page loads.

Does installing this make me legally compliant?

No, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Klarvo is a technical transparency tool that helps you find and disclose the AI on your site, and keep a dated record. It is not legal advice.

Is the notice accessible?

Yes — keyboard-navigable, screen-reader correct, WCAG AA contrast, and it respects reduced-motion and colour-scheme preferences.

I’m upgrading from 2.x — will my settings survive?

Yes. Your display settings and any AI-content declarations are preserved, and your notice keeps working. You’ll land on the new dashboard with your current status, and you can run the setup any time. If you previously connected an account, you’ll be asked to reconnect once.

Changelog

4.1.1

  • Polish: the 2 August 2026 Article 50 deadline now appears where it matters — on the dashboard, the “you’re covered” states, the setup wizard, and the Readiness Report — so you always know exactly what you’re being made ready for. Calm and factual, never alarmist. No functional changes.

4.1.0

  • New: Law-change radar — a “rules last reviewed” date and a curated, dated view of how the EU AI Act’s transparency rules are developing (Article 50’s 2 August 2026 date, the AI literacy duty already in force, the Code of Practice and guidelines being finalised), flagging what’s relevant to your site. Honest by design: it’s a signal, not legal advice, and it never scaremongers.
  • New: AI Act Readiness Report — a dated, shareable report (save it as a PDF from your browser) showing the AI on your site, your Article 50 obligations, and the disclosures in place. Your proof you checked. Not legal advice.
  • New: Deepfake / AI-image labelling (Article 50(4)) — mark a realistic AI-generated or manipulated image in your Media Library and Klarvo adds a clear, visible “AI-generated” label wherever it appears. Optionally preserve Content Credentials (C2PA) when WordPress resizes images. Honest about the law: the machine-readable watermark is the AI provider’s duty (50(2)); the visible label is yours (50(4)), and you needn’t label every AI-touched graphic.
  • New: AI-literacy pack (Article 4) — Article 4 is already in force. Klarvo generates a short, site-specific AI-literacy briefing for your team and keeps a simple acknowledgement register, both downloadable as a dated record. A proportionate way for a small team to show it’s taken the duty seriously.
  • New: EU AI Act self-assessment — a few honest questions (deployer or provider? chatbot? AI text or images?) produce a tailored checklist of what actually applies to you, a dated record you can keep, and plain-English copy that corrects the things most guidance gets wrong (there’s no SME exemption from Article 50; the penalty tier is the lower of €15m / 3% for SMEs).
  • Non-destructive upgrade from 4.0.x: every setting, declaration, the connection, and your AI usage page are preserved.

  • New: Compliance Dashboard — an AI Act Readiness score (0–100) and a Covered / Action needed / At risk traffic light, with plain-English findings and one-click fixes.

  • New: First-class “no AI detected” state — a clear “you’re covered” instead of silence, plus an always-on watchtower that re-checks when your site changes.
  • New: Point-of-interaction chatbot label (Article 50(1)) and an exact greeting snippet for your bot.
  • Improved: honest, misconception-busting guidance and a clear “not legal advice” position throughout.
