description: Manage disclosure templates and bind them to vaults to comply with the EU AI Act transparency requirements.

In compliance with the **EU AI Act (Article 50)**, providers must design and develop AI systems intended to interact directly with natural persons in such a way that the individuals are informed that they are interacting with an AI system.

PromptEasy.EU provides **Transparency Templates** to fulfill these requirements automatically by injecting disclosure messages into your prompts' system instructions based on the vault where the prompts are stored.

## How It Works

Transparency templates operate through vault-level mapping:

```mermaid
graph TD
    A[Superadmin Creates Template] --> B[Map Template to Vault]
    B --> C[User Requests Prompt]
    C --> D{Vault has bound template?}
    D -- Yes --> E[System injects disclosure warning into prompt instructions]
    D -- No --> F[System returns prompt instructions unmodified]
```

When a transparency template is mapped to a vault:
1. Every prompt executed or fetched from that vault is dynamically appended with the transparency disclosure text.
2. The disclosure text acts as a mandatory instruction to the downstream LLM to inform natural persons about the AI interaction.

## Managing Transparency Templates

Only users with the **Superadmin** role on a **Premium** or **Enterprise** plan can access the Transparency Templates configuration.

- Path: `/dashboard/transparency-templates`
- Sidebar Menu: **Transparency Templates**

### Creating and Editing Templates
1. Navigate to the **Transparency Templates** page.
2. Click the **Create Template** button.
3. Enter the disclosure template text (e.g., *"This response was generated by an AI assistant. You are interacting with an artificial intelligence system."*).
4. Click **Create Template** to save.
5. To edit existing templates, click **Edit** on the template table list.

### Deleting Templates
- Click **Delete** next to any template.
- Type `DELETE` in the confirmation popup to confirm removal.
- Deleting a template automatically unbinds it from any mapped vaults.

## Mapping Templates to Vaults

Once transparency templates are created, you can link them to specific vaults:

1. Click on the **Vault Bindings** tab.
2. Next to the target vault, select the desired transparency template from the dropdown menu.
3. Click **Bind Template** (or **Update** if a mapping already exists) to apply the template.
4. To remove a mapping, click **Unbind**.

>   Binding templates ensures that all prompt templates stored in the target vault comply with natural person disclosure requirements without requiring developers to manually copy and paste warnings into every individual prompt.
