Is Grammarly a third party when you interact with them or their product? And they don't actually record the data without the user's knowledge, do they?

They might not be a keylogger by their own definition, but everyone can design a definition like that: a thief steals stuff, gives it to a third party for the benefit of that party, and does so without the users's knowledge.

Robin Hood wasn't a thief by his own accord, because he steals openly and gives it to the poor.

Grammarly aren't keylogging by their own accord, because they tell you they're doing it, and they keep the data to themselves.

Still, I feel robbed.
