Lumen Trust Notes
NotebookLM
Sources and chats are processed in Google's cloud; there is no local NotebookLM for consumers, so Privacy is Low—upload only what you are comfortable storing with Google. The free tier is genuinely useful, supporting High parity, and the grounded-citation design reflects a High-purpose research mission. Model and training transparency remain limited (Provenance Low). Excellent for coursework and knowledge packs; avoid highly confidential client files unless Workspace/enterprise controls and policy allow it.
Claude
Claude is cloud-only with processing on Anthropic infrastructure; there is no self-hosted option, keeping privacy at Low. Anthropic's Constitutional AI framework and published safety research demonstrate a genuine ethical mission beyond commercial interest, earning a High Purpose score. A strong choice for teams needing thoughtful long-form analysis, but treat it like any managed cloud service with regard to sensitive data.
