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.
