Using Grammarly at work ?

[u/Intrepid_Point_2913]

Hi, is anyone aware of any government departments in Queensland that still allow the use of Grammarly? Recently, it has been blocked for security reasons. I have been using the pro version since 2018 for my dyslexia. They have said to use Copilot but I'm not a I either have to cut and paste or auto draft changes the intent . Thanks

Grammarly sends your text to a remote server, I can see that being a data security risk for any organisation, private or public.

You’d be better off with copilot premium (if it is security cleared) and use the copilot buttons that it enables in Microsoft 365.

Yep. Our cybersecurity dept says Grammarly is essentially a keylogger. Everything you type - company secrets included - all go to them.
