Lumen Trust Notes

ChatGPT

ChatGPT is fully cloud-based with no local processing; all inputs are handled on OpenAI servers, making data sovereignty low. Its mission centres on broadly beneficial AI, with transparent safety research and a strong free tier that democratises access. Recommended for general productivity, writing, and research — avoid sharing sensitive PII or confidential commercial data.

Wispr Flow

Wispr Flow processes speech in the cloud rather than fully on-device, so data sovereignty is limited unless Privacy Mode is on and cloud sync is disabled. Enterprise customers get stronger guarantees (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, enforced Privacy Mode, SSO). The free tier and broad device support improve access, but unlimited dictation requires a paid plan. Suitable for everyday writing and coding workflows; treat sensitive dictation like any cloud voice service and enable Privacy Mode for confidential content.
