More weirdly "Your Information may be viewed where necessary to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Grammarly". Whatever that means? Again, this is all taken straight from their Privacy Policy. https://www.grammarly.com/privacy-policy#does-grammarly-review-user-content …
They also give themselves a "a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free and fully-paid, transferable and sublicensable, perpetual, and irrevocable license to copy, store and use your User Content". See for yourself in their ToS: https://www.grammarly.com/terms#user-content …pic.twitter.com/oVbeUy0KgG
It's unclear if they categorize "user content" (eg. your text) as personal data. The privacy policy seems to use two different terms. Again, I am not a lawyer™. Would appreciate references or confirmation from someone who knows what they're talking about.
Hopefully GDPR would force them to remove it when requested, but unclear if the user content is included. Again, they aren't specific. They would likely refuse GDPR requests for non-Europeans anyway.
So to summarize: Grammarly admit to saving all processed text, giving themselves a license to do with it literally whatever they want, are unclear about deletion, and by storing your text they have to disclose it to law enforcement if requested.
You can decide if the trade-off are worth it. It's not for me, and it's probably not for you. Muting this thread now lol
I'm not a lawyer, just a reporter with a lot of grounding in IP. This is an old issue in tech. The copy and store language is necessary for them to provide the service. Transferable in case the get bought. Sublicense in case they use something like a cloud service.
Note that phrase is pretty common, almost every service you upload any content to has it in their ToS. See section 3 of twitter’s ToS for example. The lawyers make tech companies put it there. The rest of your thread is alarming, but this item is not.
"...in connection with the provision of the Software and the Services and to improve the algorithms underlying the Software and the Services" Storing your content to provide the service and retraining the algorithms based on it in order to improve your writing is all they do.
I don't get how it's not expected from the service, which only analyzes and corrects your writing.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
