ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause operationalizes content ownership by separating ownership rights from usage rights, permitting Grammarly to process and modify user-submitted content without requiring individual authorization for each operational use while explicitly restricting usage to service delivery and improvement functions.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users maintain ownership of their submitted content while authorizing Grammarly to use, modify, and distribute that content globally for service provision and improvement purposes. The non-exclusive license structure permits Grammarly to sublicense this content to other parties for the stated purposes.
