Is Grammarly GDPR compliant?

Yes

Grammarly, Inc. · Writing

Yes. Grammarly, Inc. offers a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for Grammarly, the baseline GDPR control when a vendor processes personal data on your behalf.

What we checked

This assessment separates the consumer product from any business plan. It uses the vendor documents linked below; an unverified item is not a pass.

Data Processing Agreement: Confirmed; Grammarly, Inc. publishes a DPA. A DPA is necessary but does not replace your own lawful-basis, DPIA and transfer assessment.
EU data residency: Not verified; No EU-residency option was confirmed in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Default data training: Opt-out required; Grammarly does not let LLM providers train on user content, but uses aggregated, de-identified samples for product improvement and training unless the user opts out via account controls.
Business-tier training: No by default; Grammarly Business/Enterprise content is not used to train models and EU/UK user content is explicitly excluded from model training.

Practical risk: On free/Premium consumer tiers Grammarly uses de-identified content for product improvement/training unless you opt out, and HIPAA coverage requires an Enterprise BAA (not available on Free/Premium/Business).

How to make a decision

Check the precise account tier, written contract and intended data before approving Grammarly. A security certification, DPA or setting can apply to only part of a vendor's service. Keep the source links with your supplier review and revisit them when the vendor changes its terms.
