"We may share your information with third-party vendors and service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as email delivery, hosting, customer service, and data analytics. We may also share your information with business partners with whom we offer co-branded services or with whom we have joint marketing or promotional arrangements.— Excerpt from Grammarly's Grammarly Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR Articles 13 and 14 require disclosure of recipients or categories of recipients of personal data; the use of a broad 'business partners' category without specific enumeration may create tension with transparency requirements. CCPA and CPRA require disclosure of categories of third parties to whom personal information is disclosed and may treat certain sharing arrangements as 'sale' or 'sharing' requiring opt-out mechanisms. The FTC Act's prohibition on unfair or deceptive practices is also relevant if sharing practices differ materially from disclosures. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The breadth of the 'business partners' category creates moderate compliance exposure, particularly under CPRA, where sharing personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising requires a clear opt-out mechanism. The policy does not specify all categories of business partners, which may complicate records of processing activities and vendor management. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California users have the most specific statutory rights, including the right to know the categories of third parties receiving their data and the right to opt out of sharing under CPRA. EEA users have GDPR-based rights to detailed disclosure of recipients. Organizations in regulated industries should assess whether data flows to business partners are compatible with sector-specific confidentiality obligations. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement and legal teams should request a current list of sub-processors and business partners from Grammarly, particularly for enterprise deployments. Data processing agreements should include provisions governing onward transfers to business partners and require equivalent data protection standards. This provision may trigger data transfer impact assessments for EEA users. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations should map what user data categories flow to Grammarly and assess whether those flows are compatible with their own privacy notices and consents. Updates to records of processing activities and data flow maps may be required. Privacy teams should verify that Grammarly's opt-out mechanisms for data sharing are functional and compliant with applicable state law requirements.
