Lumen Trust Notes
Descript
All media is uploaded and processed on Descript's cloud; no offline or self-hosted editing option is available. The text-based editing paradigm is a genuine innovation that makes professional video editing accessible to non-technical users, reflecting strong purpose. Recommended for content creators and communications teams; note that Overdub voice cloning requires explicit consent from the voice owner before training.
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.
