+## 🔍 Training Data Transparency
+
+This repository focuses on demonstrating **inference and model optimization workflows** using the OpenVINO™ Toolkit with pre-trained models.
+
+- The notebooks do **not perform model training, re-training, or fine-tuning**.
+- Instead, they leverage pre-trained models and showcase **efficient inference and deployment techniques** across different hardware backends.
+- In addition to inference, the notebooks demonstrate **model optimization workflows**, including:
+  - model conversion (e.g., FP32 → FP16 / INT8)
+  - quantization and compression techniques
+  - performance tuning for CPU, GPU, and other supported devices
+
+Training data details, dataset composition, and associated biases are defined by the **original model providers** and are not modified within this repository.
+
+Users are encouraged to:
+- Review the original model documentation for dataset sources and training details
+- Understand potential biases and limitations of pre-trained models
+- Evaluate models appropriately for their specific use cases and deployment environments
+- Follow responsible AI and data governance practices when integrating these models into applications
+
+This section aims to clarify the scope of the repository and improve transparency regarding how models are used within OpenVINO notebooks.
