At Grammarly, we value user trust and operate with high standards for privacy and transparency. You can feel confident using Grammarly’s product offerings knowing that:

Grammarly is blocked from running in read-only and sensitive fields, such as payment forms, passwords, addresses, and URLs. We don’t record every keystroke.

We make it clear when Grammarly is active by turning the G button green. You can easily turn it off any time, then turn it back on within a document or site using the easy-to-find floating G icon, when you use Grammarly for Windows or Mac; or an on/off toggle when you use Grammarly Extension, which you can find by pressing on the Grammarly icon located on the top bar of your web browser.
