Lumen Trust Notes

Claude

Claude is cloud-only with processing on Anthropic infrastructure; there is no self-hosted option, keeping privacy at Low. Anthropic's Constitutional AI framework and published safety research demonstrate a genuine ethical mission beyond commercial interest, earning a High Purpose score. A strong choice for teams needing thoughtful long-form analysis, but treat it like any managed cloud service with regard to sensitive data.

DeepL

Translations are processed on DeepL's infrastructure; Pro plans emphasise that texts are not used to train models—still cloud-based, so Privacy is Low for free/default use and Medium-leaning only with Pro contractual assurances (scored Low for consistency with cloud-only rules). Strong free tier supports High parity. Purpose is High for accurate cross-language communication. Provenance Low. Prefer Pro for confidential documents and review DeepL's enterprise DPA.
