- Lumo cannot access accounts directly; users must export their data, and support currently covers personal ChatGPT and Claude accounts only.
- The emailed data export may take several days, while the subsequent analysis finished within a few minutes during testing.
- The report organizes personal information into six areas; many assessments were accurate, although some inferences proved wrong.
- A second run on identical ChatGPT data produced different summaries; Lumo noted that inferences could enable profiling without users’ knowledge or permission.
Your export is encrypted in transit and processed without being stored on Lumo's servers.— Direct quote from Lumo AI's data export/privacy page explaining how exports are processed; cited in PCMag's article about Lumo AI Paper Trail.
