Lumen Trust Notes
Otter.ai
Meeting audio and transcripts are processed and stored on Otter.ai cloud servers; no on-premise option exists for standard plans, which is a key consideration for legally sensitive discussions. The generous free tier and accessible pricing reflect genuine parity, and the core use case — reducing note-taking burden — is straightforward and valuable. Recommended for team meetings and interviews, but avoid using it for legally privileged or regulated conversations without reviewing Otter's data processing agreement.
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.
