Lumen Trust Notes
Midjourney
All image generation happens on Midjourney's servers with no local option, and default plans make outputs publicly visible, creating real privacy concerns for commercial work. The training data provenance is undisclosed, and there is no free tier, limiting access for individuals and smaller organisations. Best used for mood boards and creative exploration; use the Pro Stealth plan for any client-facing or proprietary creative work.
HeyGen
Scripts, avatars, and voice data are processed in HeyGen's cloud (Privacy Low). Free and Creator tiers support Medium parity, but credit metering can raise real costs. Purpose is Medium—highly useful for content teams, yet synthetic avatars and voice clones require careful consent and disclosure to avoid misuse. Provenance Low. Always get consent for custom avatars/voices and label AI-generated video where appropriate.
