Klarvo AI Transparency for EU AI Act

Description

Klarvo AI Transparency automatically detects AI-powered plugins on your WordPress site and displays a transparency disclosure required by Article 50 of the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689).

The Article 50 deadline is August 2, 2026. Penalties for non-compliance are up to 15 million or 3% of global turnover.

Works Immediately

Install, activate, done. No account or configuration needed. The plugin scans your active plugins against a registry of 340+ AI tools and displays a discreet compliance badge when relevant tools are detected.

Only Shows What the Law Requires

Article 50 creates transparency obligations for specific categories of AI system. The widget only publicly discloses tools that fall within these obligations:

• Chatbots & Conversational AI (Art. 50.1) — AI systems that interact directly with visitors: Tidio, LiveChat, Crisp, HubSpot Chat, Zendesk, Intercom, Drift, tawk.to, and 37 more
• AI Content Generation (Art. 50.2) — AI systems generating synthetic text: AI Engine, Bertha AI, Jetpack AI, GetGenie, ContentBot, and 10 more
• AI Translation (Art. 50.2) — AI-generated translated content: Weglot, TranslatePress, WPML, GTranslate, and 6 more
• AI Personalisation (Art. 50.1) — AI systems modifying the visitor experience: Dynamic Yield, Nosto, Optimizely, VWO, and 16 more
• AI Commerce (Art. 50.1) — AI-powered product recommendations: Clerk.io, Nosto, Rebuy, Woo AI, and 10 more
• AI Search (Art. 50.1) — AI-ranked search results: Algolia, Jetpack Search AI, Relevanssi, SearchWP, and 13 more

Tools that operate invisibly in the background (analytics, security, SEO, image compression) are detected for your private dashboard but not shown to visitors — there is no Article 50 obligation to disclose them, and disclosing security tools would be a security risk.

GDPR-Safe

In standalone mode, the plugin makes zero external requests and collects no visitor data. No cookies, no tracking, no external fonts. Everything runs on your server.

Optional: Connect to Klarvo

For advanced features, connect your site to Klarvo:

• Remove “Protected by Klarvo” branding (Pro — 1.99/mo)
• Impression analytics dashboard
• Custom colours and positioning
• Manage up to 5 sites (Pro) or 25 sites (Agency — 9.99/mo)
• Import detected tools into your full EU AI Act compliance inventory

The free standalone plugin works completely without a Klarvo account.

External services

This plugin can operate in two modes. In standalone mode (default, no account needed), it makes zero external requests — all detection uses the bundled registry and all output is inline HTML/CSS.
