Summary

The policy authorizes Grammarly to use collected text to improve and train its AI models and machine learning systems. California residents and EEA users are granted rights to access, delete, or restrict processing of their data through Grammarly's privacy request portal at privacy.grammarly.com.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is Grammarly's Privacy Policy, governing the collection, use, storage, and sharing of personal data by Grammarly Inc. across its writing assistance products and services, with a stated legal basis grounded in consent, contractual necessity, and legitimate interests depending on jurisdiction. The policy states that Grammarly collects a broad range of data categories including account information, user content (text submitted for analysis), usage data, device and browser information, and inferred preferences, and the terms authorize sharing of this data with service providers, business partners, affiliates, and in connection with corporate transactions such as mergers or acquisitions. Notably, the policy asserts that user content submitted through Grammarly's services may be used to improve and train its AI and machine learning models, a practice disclosed but one where the scope of training data use and opt-out granularity merits scrutiny; the policy also distinguishes between consumer and enterprise (Grammarly Business) data handling, with enterprise customer content subject to separate agreements that may limit certain uses. The policy expressly addresses GDPR obligations for EEA users including legal bases for processing, data subject rights, and cross-border transfer mechanisms, and engages CCPA/CPRA requirements for California residents including rights to know, delete, and opt out of sale or sharing of personal information; users in other jurisdictions may have more limited protections depending on local law and enforcement context.
