AI model training is a significant secondary use of collected data; the existence of a user-controlled opt-out mechanism means this use is not unconditional.
Interpretive note: The excerpt contains two related but partially distinct propositions: (1) Grammarly trains AI models on collected information broadly, and (2) users can control whether their user content specifically is used. The canonical claim captures both because they are directly related, but the scope difference—'information we collect' vs. 'user content'—is noted. Also, the excerpt again references 'Superhuman' rather than Grammarly, which is a named entity inconsistency noted but not resolved in the claim.
The updated policy now discloses that Grammarly collects voice data if you use transcription or Notetaker features, including recordings of other participants, and expands its list of collected content to explicitly include screen content and web pages. For users whose accounts are managed by an organization (employer, school, or other entity), the policy clarifies that Grammarly's privacy terms do not apply to the content you upload or output—your organization's privacy terms govern that data instead. This means organizational account users should review their organization's privacy policies rather than relying on Grammarly's policy to understand how their work or educational data is handled.

How other platforms handle this
We do not train any models on User Content.
This is still Your Content, and you are responsible for it and its accuracy, as well as your use of it on our Services and any and all decisions made, actions taken, and failures to take action based on Your Content.
You are responsible for any content, data, or instructions submitted to the Services via any Automated System. Instacart's license to use user content...includes content submitted by or through Automated Systems...
