If you use Grammarly through your employer or an organization's business account, your data is governed by a separate contract and your employer's privacy policy, not this consumer policy.
This analysis describes what Grammarly's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This provision creates a bifurcated regulatory framework where enterprise customers operate under distinct data processing terms negotiated between the customer and Grammarly, rather than under the standard consumer privacy policy. This allows differentiated data handling obligations based on customer classification.
Employees using Grammarly through a company or institutional account should check with their employer about what data protections apply, as the consumer privacy policy may not govern how their writing and usage data is handled in a business context.

"When Grammarly processes information on behalf of a Grammarly Business customer, we do so pursuant to a separate data processing agreement with that customer, and the customer's privacy policy (not this Privacy Policy) applies to the personal data of that customer's users.— Excerpt from Grammarly's Grammarly Privacy Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The enterprise data processing agreement framework engages GDPR Article 28 (processor obligations), CCPA/CPRA business-to-business exemptions, and FERPA for educational institution deployments. Grammarly's role as a data processor under enterprise agreements means the customer organization acts as controller and bears primary GDPR compliance responsibility. HIPAA business associate agreement requirements may apply if covered entities use Grammarly Business in contexts involving protected health information, though the policy does not address this scenario. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium to High depending on sector. Organizations in regulated industries that deploy Grammarly Business without reviewing the data processing agreement for appropriate scope limitations, sub-processor lists, and breach notification provisions may have material compliance gaps. The explicit carve-out of AI training for Business users is a significant mitigation, but only if the DPA is reviewed and properly executed. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EEA enterprise deployments require a GDPR-compliant DPA under Article 28. US federal contractor or healthcare deployments may require additional contractual terms. Educational institutions must assess FERPA applicability. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement and legal teams should treat the Grammarly Business DPA review as a mandatory due diligence step, not an optional add-on. Key provisions to assess include: data retention and deletion terms, sub-processor notification rights, audit rights, breach notification timelines, and explicit exclusion of user content from AI training pipelines. The consumer policy's AI training use should be verified as inapplicable to enterprise-context data. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations deploying Grammarly Business should maintain a copy of the executed DPA, map what user data flows to Grammarly, and incorporate Grammarly into their vendor risk management framework. Employee privacy notices should reflect the organizational data processing context. Periodic DPA reviews should be triggered by updates to Grammarly's sub-processor list or material changes to the service.
