# Compliance

> How LOIS for Word aligns with legal ethics rules, AI regulations, and bar association guidance for the responsible use of AI in contract review and drafting.

LOIS for Word is designed for legal workflows. Every feature—from authentication to AI suggestions—is built with legal responsibility, confidentiality, and ethical compliance at the core.

### Professional standards

LOIS for Word supports legal teams with:

* Role-based access, audit logs, and Microsoft 365 SSO
* Full human-in-the-loop review. AI suggestions are never applied automatically
* Clear source attribution for every suggestion, eliminating black-box behavior
* Secure cloud infrastructure with US-based data residency

### Attorney-client privilege

We preserve privilege through:

* No automated decisions: every suggestion is reviewed and accepted/rejected by a person
* Zero data retention by model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic)
* Data encryption in transit and at rest
* Logical separation of customer data per client/matter

### Bar association guidelines

We align with major legal tech guidelines:

* **California Bar**: Transparent AI usage, no autonomous decisions, and human oversight
* **ABA Opinion 512**: Competence, confidentiality, supervision, and disclosure
* **EU AI Act**: LOIS for Word maintains human-in-the-loop design
* Onboarding and training pursuant to **Article 4** of the EU AI Act (training & understanding of AI tools)

### Usage requirements and court disclosure

AI outputs are suggestions, not legal advice. You remain in control.

* Review all outputs before relying on them
* Follow local court disclosure requirements
* Document AI usage if required by judge or jurisdiction

### Best practices

We recommend:

* Regular review of your internal AI policy
* Oversight workflows for every redline
* Logging acceptance/rejection of suggestions
* Transparent disclosure in filings or negotiations when appropriate

### Data jurisdiction

* All LOIS for Word data is hosted in the United States (GCP)
* No international data transfers
* US data laws and privacy protections apply
* Redundant infrastructure supports business continuity

### Transparency and ethical guardrails

* AI suggestions are benchmarked and tested against real contract data
* System flags hallucinations, reasoning errors, and prompt injection attempts
* Feedback loops let you control how your playbooks evolve
* Vendors are contractually bound to strict security standards
