Lumen Trust Notes
Windsurf
Agent and chat traffic generally goes to Windsurf/cloud model providers unless enterprise deployment options say otherwise—Privacy Low for typical Pro use. Free tier plus $20 Pro supports Medium parity. Purpose is High for accelerating real software work. Provenance Low due to closed product and third-party frontier models. Review privacy/zero-retention options before connecting proprietary repos.
GitHub Copilot
Code is processed on GitHub and OpenAI cloud infrastructure; no on-premise or air-gapped option is available for most plans. Purpose is High — Copilot genuinely accelerates developer productivity with verified free access for students and open-source contributors, a clear commitment to access parity. Recommended for most development teams, but review your organisation's code privacy policies before connecting proprietary repositories.
