Lumen Trust Notes

n8n

n8n's self-hosted option means organisations can run the entire platform on their own infrastructure with zero data leaving their environment, earning a rare High privacy score. Its fair-code open-source model, transparent codebase, and free self-hosted tier make it the most sovereignty-respecting automation platform in this directory. Strongly recommended for data-sensitive organisations, regulated industries, and any team that needs full control over automation data flows.

Wispr Flow

Wispr Flow processes speech in the cloud rather than fully on-device, so data sovereignty is limited unless Privacy Mode is on and cloud sync is disabled. Enterprise customers get stronger guarantees (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, enforced Privacy Mode, SSO). The free tier and broad device support improve access, but unlimited dictation requires a paid plan. Suitable for everyday writing and coding workflows; treat sensitive dictation like any cloud voice service and enable Privacy Mode for confidential content.
