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.

Google Gemini

Gemini runs fully in Google's cloud with no local or self-hosted option for the consumer and Workspace products, so data sovereignty is Low. Google offers a genuinely usable free tier and broad accessibility, supporting High parity, while the product's clear productivity mission inside Workspace earns High purpose. Closed models and limited training-data transparency keep Provenance Low. Strong for Google-centric workflows; treat sensitive data under your organisation's Google Workspace and AI data-processing settings.
