Latest Policy Findings: 2026-06-10

Grammarly is clearer on service sharing than on tracking, so the main risk is where writing data gets exposed outside your editor.

Strongest: Data Sharing
80/100

Grammarly is strongest where it defines business handling, customer ownership, and vendor use more tightly than many AI writing tools.

Weakest: AI Training
55/100

The weakest area is the broader tracking and product surface, especially once Grammarly runs across many sites, apps, and browser sessions.
