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.

Fireflies.ai

Meeting audio and transcripts are processed and stored in Fireflies' cloud (Privacy Low). A usable free tier supports High parity, and the core mission—reducing note-taking burden—earns High purpose. Provenance Low for closed AI pipelines. Obtain participant consent where required and avoid privileged or regulated conversations without reviewing Fireflies' DPA and retention settings.
