No. A keylogger is a type of malicious software or surveillance tool that records every keystroke typed on a keyboard without the user’s knowledge. The captured data—personal information such as account login information—is often sent to a third party for purposes like identity theft, financial fraud, or unauthorized access. Grammarly’s product doesn’t fit any of these descriptions.
Grammarly can’t access anything you type unless you are actively using a Grammarly product offering, such as the browser extension, in a text field or you use AI features, such as AI Chat, that consider additional content to provide you with the service. We make it clear when Grammarly is active, and you can easily turn it off at any time and then turn it back on within a document or site. See the Tips & Tutorials section for detailed instructions.
Additionally, sensitive text such as credit card information or passwords is ignored or excluded by our software on a best-efforts basis. Grammarly never sells user content to third parties for advertising or any other purposes; we make money from selling subscriptions.
Some Grammarly features may record your typed or copied input if you provide explicit permission. You will see an in-app notification about this before activating the feature in question.
We value the trust our customers put in us to keep their information safe and secure. Read Grammarly’s user-first approach to privacy and security on our Trust Center.
