  + ## Claude directory and customer data+ Backlane is listed as a community connector in the Claude directory:+ https://claude.ai/directory/backlane-production+ The listing is not an Anthropic verification or certification.+ Optional anonymization mode reduces the customer data passed from your marketplaces to your AI assistant.+ As an admin, open Backlane Settings → Anonymize customer data → Enable anonymization. The mode is off by default. Once enabled, it takes effect immediately for every connection in your organisation; each setting change is logged.+ In structured customer fields, Backlane replaces names, company names, addresses except the country, email addresses, phone numbers, customer and buyer IDs, VAT IDs and birth dates with [anonymized]. Email addresses and phone numbers are also removed from text such as messages and return reasons.+ Order and product data and country information remain available for analysis. Your own return, warehouse and ship-from addresses and product compliance contacts are not treated as customer data. In free text, the filter detects email addresses and phone numbers; names and other personal details outside recognised customer fields may remain.+ The filter covers JSON, NDJSON and CSV responses, downloadable files and marketplace error bodies. PDFs, other binary files and unstructured text responses are blocked because they cannot be reliably anonymized. Searches or filters using customer data and write requests containing the [anonymized] placeholder are also blocked.+ The mode applies to future responses from Backlane. It does not retroactively anonymize data already sent to your AI assistant or content you paste into the chat yourself.+ - [Customer data anonymization, German](https://getbacklane.com/docs/#customer-data)+ - [Customer data anonymization, English](https://getbacklane.com/en/docs/#customer-data)+ - [Terms of Service, English](https://getbacklane.com/terms-of-service/)+ ## Free seller tools+ These public tools run locally in the browser, require no registration and do not fetch seller account data.+ - [German tool directory](https://getbacklane.com/tools/)+ - [English tool directory](https://getbacklane.com/en/tools/)+ - [ROAS calculator, German](https://getbacklane.com/tools/roas-rechner/)+ - [ROAS calculator, English](https://getbacklane.com/en/tools/roas-calculator/)+ - [Margin calculator, German](https://getbacklane.com/tools/margenrechner/)+ - [Margin calculator, English](https://getbacklane.com/en/tools/margin-calculator/)+ - [EAN and GTIN checker, German](https://getbacklane.com/tools/ean-pruefen/)+ - [EAN and GTIN checker, English](https://getbacklane.com/en/tools/gtin-checker/)+ - [Product data checker, German](https://getbacklane.com/tools/produktdaten-check/)+ - [Product data checker, English](https://getbacklane.com/en/tools/product-data-checker/)+ The margin calculator reports contribution after entered variable costs, not full profit.+ It also calculates a variable-cost price floor, target-margin price and discount headroom using user-entered fees and cost assumptions. The ROAS tool supports local campaign CSV comparisons. The product data checker offers a basic quality profile and limited Kaufland CSV format rules; it does not confirm marketplace approval or fetch image URLs.+ The GTIN checker validates structure and check digits, not GS1 assignment or product identity.+ Each tool includes a starter prompt and links to Backlane setup for continuing with available marketplace data.
