Lumen Trust Notes

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.

ElevenLabs

Voice generation and cloning are processed on ElevenLabs cloud servers; cloned voice data is stored remotely. While the technology is impressive and genuinely accessible via a free tier, the potential for voice misuse means Purpose earns only a Medium — responsible safeguards exist but the platform can be misused for synthetic fraud. Recommended for legitimate content creation; always disclose AI voice usage to your audience.
