My CTO uses it, which is frankly, terrifying. We'll be in a shared screen session editing slides for a board meeting or very sensitive docs, and their little UI prompts are shining away.

...and it's not like it improves his grammar or spelling - they're still terrible!

Is the CTO aware that the information being checked could be leaked to a competitor?

You mean there was a vulnerability, that they claim was patched within hours of release and never exploited, and only affected the Grammarly Editor interface?

At that point you might as well include every OS because everything contains saved data and vulnerabilities. That’s extremely different than grammarly collecting and selling off private data that they promise is private.

If your competitors are trying to actively hack you and steal your data…
