Privacy Policy

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, GrammarCheck.me collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. GrammarCheck.me’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how GrammarCheck.me’s visitors use its website.

GrammarCheck.me also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. GrammarCheck.me does not use IP addresses to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to GrammarCheck.me choose to interact with the website in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that GrammarCheck.me gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who use our contact form to provide their name and email address so that we can reply to their enquiry.

In each case, GrammarCheck.me collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with GrammarCheck.me. GrammarCheck.me does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

All of the information that is collected on GrammarCheck.me will be handled in accordance with GDPR legislation.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

GrammarCheck.me discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on GrammarCheck.me’s behalf or to provide services available through GrammarCheck.me, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using GrammarCheck.me, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.

GrammarCheck.me will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, GrammarCheck.me discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, if you give permission to have your information shared, or when GrammarCheck.me believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of GrammarCheck.me, third parties, or the public at large.

If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. GrammarCheck.me takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
