This talks about privacy and data ownership, but I can’t tell from the site if the processing is all local (like Snips or Mycroft) or if data still has to be trusted with a remote party. Maybe I missed something.

Mycroft is not at all all-local. It also sends audio data into the cloud for processing. It's a disgrace really.

Oh wow! Well, glad I went with Snips then.
