Text in the screenshot from Grammarly says:

We develop data sets to train our algorithms so that we can improve the services we provide to customers like you. We have devoted significant time and resources to developing methods to ensure that these data sets are anonymized and de-identified.

To develop these data sets, we sample snippets of text at random, disassociate them from a user’s account, and then use a variety of different methods to strip the text of identifying information (such as identifiers, contact details, addresses, etc.). Only then do we use the snippets to train our algorithms-and the original text is deleted. In other words, we don’t store any text in a manner that can be associated with your account or used to identify you or anyone else.

We currently offer a feature that permits customers to opt out of this use for Grammarly Business teams of 500 users or more. Please let me know if you might be interested in a license of this size, and I’II forward your request to the corresponding team.

    I’ve used language tool for a while and honestly it’s not very good and lacking integration in many tools.

      No idea about integrations, but regarding quality it was the opposite for me. The language recognition alone was leaps beyond Grammarly (though I can’t say if Grammarly has improved since then, as I switched years ago for privacy reasons), but also other fields.

        We used it company wide and did a pretty extensive evaluation vs Grammarly and while I was on the side of Languagetool the match up was completely one sided :|

          Company-wide, I guess it’s about pro? As I only use it to make fewer mistakes in internet comments, I’m a free user ;)
