Can I trust Lumo by Proton?

NOT ASSESSED 92 Android Version 1.5.3-gms (versionCode 59) me.proton.android.lumo Scanned

This scan is more than 90 days old. The store may list a newer version than the one described here.

This app has an open trust check or a verdict held for review.

Best for
Proton users who want limited third-party data sharing
What it means for you
The app includes code to send crash reports to Proton's own GDPR-governed servers, not to external analytics companies. On-device speech processing via Vosk means audio never leaves the device. Google Play services handle billing and app delivery, with no third-party advertising, analytics, or behavioral tracking SDKs present.
Main concern
WebView payment bridge has no origin guard — JS can invoke billing APIs if server is compromised
The developer's description
Ask anything. It's confidential. Meet Lumo, the privacy-first AI assistant by Proton. Lumo helps you stay productive, curious, and informed without compromising your privacy.

Trust checks

  • Secure by Design

    Strong

    Strong security foundation

    Why this result

    This check looks for security issues at high severity or above in the code of this build, and none were recorded. Its scope covers stored credentials, how the app protects data on the device, and how it protects data in transit.

    Authentication tokens are protected with hardware-backed device encryption, making them unreadable even on a stolen phone. All network traffic uses encrypted connections and plain-text communication is blocked app-wide. No hardcoded passwords or sensitive credentials were found. No SSL bypass patterns or certificate validation weaknesses were identified. Two medium-severity issues exist — one in the payment interface's origin-checking logic and one about crash-report screen recordings — but neither is easily exploited without first compromising Proton's own servers, and no critical or high-severity vulnerabilities were found.

  • Data Minimization

    Items recorded, result pending review

    Tracking lacks clear disclosure

    Why this result

    This build contains analytics or attribution code written to send data to companies other than the developer. No consent step was found before that code runs, and the app's disclosures do not describe the collection in full. Tracking by itself is ordinary; what this check reports is the combination of collection, recipient and absent disclosure.

  • Manifest Mismatch

    Items recorded, result pending review

    Disclosure incomplete or contradicted

    Why this result

    The check compares the app's privacy disclosures against what the code does, and at least one claim did not match in this build. Mismatches of this kind include a data category collected but not disclosed, a recipient the disclosure omits, and an identifier attached to data the disclosure describes as anonymous.

  • User Control

    Strong

    No lock-in

    Why this result

    The check looks for a way to export the data an account has accumulated and a way to delete the account itself. In this build, either both were found, or the app has no account of its own and keeps its data on the device. For an app without an account, the developer has no server-side copy to export or delete, and deleting the app removes the data in its own storage.

    No proprietary data formats or artificial barriers to switching services were found. Account management is handled through Proton's standard account infrastructure. No code patterns that would trap user data or prevent users from leaving were identified.

  • Truly Local

    Strong

    Stays on the device

    Why this result

    This app presents itself as working offline or on the device alone. The check looks for any code written to send personal data to a server, including analytics, crash reporting and advertising code. None was recorded in this build.

    Voice input is processed entirely on-device using an offline speech recognition engine, and the build contains no code to send audio to any server. Authentication tokens are stored with hardware-backed on-device encryption. The app includes code to send AI conversations and requests to Proton's own servers, not to advertising networks or data brokers. Crash reports, when enabled, route only to Proton's own infrastructure. No sensitive user data flows to external parties outside of Proton.

Strengths

  • Session tokens stored with AES-GCM-256 via hardware-backed AndroidKeyStore (non-exportable key)
  • No cleartext traffic — android:usesCleartextTraffic=false with Certificate Transparency enforced
  • No SSL bypass patterns — no trust-all TrustManager, no ALLOW_ALL_HOSTNAME_VERIFIER, no onReceivedSslError proceed
  • No third-party analytics or advertising SDKs — no Firebase Analytics, Amplitude, Adjust, or advertising IDs
  • On-device speech recognition via Vosk — no audio transmitted to any server
  • Self-hosted Sentry crash reporting on Proton GDPR-governed infrastructure (not sentry.io)
  • Sentry crash reporting respects user opt-out via OptOutInterceptor
  • WebView debugging disabled in production
  • Account management logic in auditable Rust via UniFFI with type-safe bindings
  • PairIP anti-tamper integrity verification prevents repackaged APK distribution
