Introduction

Before using Grammarly, check if your document contains sensitive information. Sensitive data includes high risk information described below:

High Risk

Personal data (“PD”) is a subset of confidential information that is information about people. Examples include

  • educational records,

  • health and medical information

  • credit card numbers

  • employment records.

A subset of personal data is classified as high-risk, either because the exposure of this information can cause harm or because the information is specifically protected under law.

High-risk confidential Information (“HRI”) includes an individual’s name in conjunction with the individual’s:

  • social security number

  • credit or debit card information

  • individual financial account information

  • driver's license number

  • state ID number

  • passport number

  • human subject information

  • personally identifiable medical information

  • biometric information.

In general one may think of high-risk confidential information as personal data associated with a name; extra care must be taken to protect high-risk confidential information in both electronic and paper form.

Why This Matters

Grammarly stores all text entered into its service on their servers. This means any high risk data you type could be at risk of being accessed or misused. Disabling Grammarly when working on sensitive documents ensures that this information remains secure.
