Been looking at Grammarly for a while and to be fair they have been massively advertising too. Obviously Google & Facebook know I’m dyslexic and I imagine Grammarly are targeting people like me.
But I’m not keen on the process of sending the text to their centralised server. I understand but I think there is another way to do this, however that way conflicts with their business model. Maybe its a another case for something which should be a public service not left to the private sector?
I’m not the only one asking questions; I have been browsing the terms and conditions too and not keen on what I’ve read so far, the privacy policy alone speaks volumes.

Not looking good— Ian Forrester (@cubicgarden) December 2, 2017
I’ve been using Language tool as their privacy policy seems more reasonable to me and it can work offline and in a more decentralised manner.
Be interested to hear how others get on with it, maybe the benefits greatly outweigh the data ethical concerns?
