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.
Zapier
Zapier is cloud-hosted; workflow data flows through Zapier's infrastructure with no self-hosted option on standard plans, so Privacy is Low. A free tier and nonprofit pricing support Medium parity, while the product's clear automation mission earns High purpose. Underlying AI and app integrations are closed/third-party, keeping Provenance Low. Ideal for connecting SaaS tools quickly; review which fields pass through Zaps when handling personal or regulated data.
