Lumen Trust Notes
Cursor
Cursor offers a Privacy Mode that disables code retention and training on your data, elevating its privacy posture above most cloud coding tools to Medium. The product is purpose-built to maximise developer productivity with transparent data-handling options, reflecting a genuine user-first mission. A strong choice for professional developers, especially with Privacy Mode enabled for any proprietary or client code.
LM Studio
Inference stays on-device when used offline/local, earning High privacy and strong data sovereignty. The app is free to download, supporting High parity. Purpose is High—it lowers the barrier to private, local AI. Provenance is High when you choose transparent open-weight models (you still choose which weights to trust). Requires capable hardware; ideal when cloud LLM policies are too risky.
