Does Your Website
Use AI? EU Law
Applies to You.

Yes — if any of your users or customers are in Europe. The EU AI Act uses the same territorial scope as GDPR: it applies to any organization that offers services to people in the EU, regardless of where you're headquartered. Amazon, Meta, and Clearview AI are all US-based and have been fined under EU law. If your site is publicly accessible, you almost certainly have European users.

Under EU AI Act Article 50(1), users must be clearly informed — before or at the start of an interaction — that they are communicating with an AI system, not a human. This disclosure must be explicit and easy to notice. Burying it in your terms of service does not comply. SiteProof AI checks whether your chatbot widget includes this disclosure and flags it as high-risk if missing.

The EU AI Act entered into force on August 1, 2024. The transparency obligations most relevant to websites — including AI chatbot disclosure (Article 50) — apply from August 2, 2026. High-risk AI systems and most other provisions also apply from Aug 2026. Some prohibited AI practices have been enforceable since February 2025. Bottom line: Aug 2026 is the key date for most websites.

We scan for EU AI Act (transparency, disclosure, risk classification), GDPR (consent, automated decision-making, data processing disclosures), FTC Act Section 5 (deceptive AI practices), CCPA/CPRA (automated decision-making opt-out), and the EU ePrivacy Directive (cookie consent, tracking). We update our rules continuously as enforcement guidance is published.

No. SiteProof AI is an automated scanning tool that identifies potential compliance issues and maps them to specific regulations. Our reports are designed to help your legal team prioritize their review — not replace it. Always consult qualified legal counsel for definitive compliance decisions.

No. SiteProof AI works exactly like a website visitor. We only analyze what's publicly visible: pages, chatbots, forms, cookie banners, and published policies. We never access your servers, databases, or internal systems. Your visitors see exactly what we see.

Most scans complete in 1–3 minutes depending on the number of pages. Our crawler prioritizes pages most likely to contain AI-powered features — so you get results fast, not just a crawl queue.

Without an account, the free scan covers up to 10 pages and shows 3 findings. With a free account, you see 5 findings — enough to confirm whether you have issues. The Instant Audit ($9.99 one-time) scans all pages, shows all findings, provides remediation steps, and includes a PDF export. Starter ($14.99/mo) adds monthly monitoring so you're notified if your site regresses after fixes.
