Text in the screenshot from Grammarly says:
We develop data sets to train our algorithms so that we can improve the services we provide to customers like you. We have devoted significant time and resources to developing methods to ensure that these data sets are anonymized and de-identified.
To develop these data sets, we sample snippets of text at random, disassociate them from a user's account, and then use a variety of different methods to strip the text of identifying information (such as identifiers, contact details, addresses, etc.). Only then do we use the snippets to train our algorithms-and the original text is deleted. In other words, we don't store any text in a manner that can be associated with your account or used to identify you or anyone else.
We currently offer a feature that permits customers to opt out of this use for Grammarly Business teams of 500 users or more. Please let me know if you might be interested in a license of this size, and I'II forward your request to the corresponding team.
Just scrolled past a post mentioned not all parts of it is in fact open source
From my understanding, their free tier is fully open source, but their paid features are closed sourced. I could be wrong.
I think it's still the better alternative out there, so I'm still recommending it. (the free tier is more than enough for most people)
Maybe, something about a new update putting things behind closed doors. It's still is a viable free option imo. I hate that our data is free game in so many places
