Lumen Trust Notes

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.

Notion AI

Notion AI processes data on Notion's cloud infrastructure via third-party model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic); there is no self-hosted or local option. Its add-on pricing model is reasonable and its deep integration with existing workflows provides genuine productivity value without dark patterns. Ideal for teams already on Notion, but review Notion's sub-processor data agreements before storing sensitive client information.
