Terms, Privacy & Disclaimer
Last updated: August 5, 2026. Operated by Lanework LLC, a Colorado limited liability company ("Lane Workbench," "we," "us").
Disclaimer
Lane Workbench is a decision-support and reference tool. It is not legal advice, and it does not guarantee compliance with any law or regulation.
- No legal or professional advice. Outputs of the Service, including classification suggestions, license determinations, screening results, and filing decisions, are informational aids only. They do not constitute legal advice, customs brokerage services, or a professional compliance determination. Consult a licensed customs broker, trade attorney, or qualified compliance professional for advice on your specific situation.
- Not a customs broker. Lane Workbench is not a licensed customs broker or freight forwarder, does not hold power of attorney for any user, and does not file customs entries, EEI, or any other regulatory submission on a user's behalf. The Service organizes and presents information drawn from the same official public sources available to any user, to support the user's own recordkeeping and workflow. The user or their licensed broker remains solely responsible for all filings.
- Verification required. All outputs must be independently verified against current official sources, including the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (USITC), Schedule B (U.S. Census Bureau), the Export Administration Regulations and Commerce Control List (BIS), the Foreign Trade Regulations (15 CFR Part 30), OFAC sanctions publications, and the official source list publications linked from screening results.
- Data currency. The Service retrieves data from publicly available U.S. Government sources, including the International Trade Administration's Consolidated Screening List. While these sources are updated regularly by their publishers, we do not warrant that any data displayed is complete, current, or error-free at the moment you view it.
- AI-generated content. Certain features use artificial intelligence to generate suggestions. AI outputs can be incorrect or incomplete and are clearly advisory. You are responsible for all decisions made using the Service.
- No government affiliation. Lane Workbench is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to the U.S. Government or any agency thereof. References to government sources are for identification of publicly available data only.
- You remain the exporter/filer of record. Responsibility for export compliance, including classification, licensing, screening, and EEI filing, rests solely with the parties designated under applicable law, not with Lane Workbench.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND UNINTERRUPTED AVAILABILITY.

Privacy Policy
What we process
- Inputs you provide (product descriptions, party names, ECCNs, destinations) are transmitted over encrypted connections and processed solely to generate results. Screening queries are forwarded to the International Trade Administration's public Consolidated Screening List API.
- AI processing is performed via third-party AI infrastructure (Anthropic). Inputs are not used to train AI models.
- Account and billing data [if applicable: name, email, payment processed by Stripe; we do not store card numbers].
- Activity logs in the mobile app are stored on your device; we cannot access them.
- Website analytics [state truthfully: none, or name the privacy-respecting analytics tool used].
What we do not do
- We do not sell personal information.
- We do not use advertising trackers.
- We do not use your compliance queries to train AI models, and we do not use them for any purpose other than returning your results and maintaining the security and reliability of the service.
Retention
The work you do in the Lane Workbench application — your part library, saved determinations, screening records, and any files you attach — is stored locally in your browser on your own device, not on our servers. Clearing your browser storage removes it.
When you run an AI-assisted or screening request, the request is transmitted to the relevant service (our AI provider, or the U.S. Government Consolidated Screening List API) to return your result, and account and billing records are retained by our authentication and payment providers as needed to operate your subscription. We retain limited operational logs (such as error and security records) for a short period for reliability and abuse prevention, then delete them in the ordinary course. We do not retain the contents of your compliance queries beyond what is needed to return the result and secure the service.
Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information. Contact legal@laneworkbench.com and we will respond within a reasonable period consistent with applicable law, including the Colorado Privacy Act where it applies.
Changes
We will post changes to this policy here with an updated date.
