Lumen Trust Notes
Grammarly
Text is sent to Grammarly's cloud for analysis; enterprise plans add stronger admin and data controls, but standard use is not local-first (Privacy Low). Free tier plus accessible Premium pricing support Medium parity. Purpose is High—clear productivity value without dark-pattern lock-in for basic writing help. Provenance Low due to closed models. Fine for everyday writing; disable or avoid on highly confidential documents unless enterprise terms and settings meet your bar.
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.
