Cookies and Similar Technologies
GrammarClearly may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember preferences, understand website usage, improve performance, or support other website-related purposes.
A cookie is a small text file that may be stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website.
The types of cookies or similar technologies used may vary depending on the services and features implemented on GrammarClearly.
For example, cookies may be used for:
- Essential website functionality
- Remembering certain preferences
- Website analytics
- Security and fraud prevention
- Understanding website performance
- Advertising or marketing, if such services are enabled
You can generally manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or performance of some parts of the website.
Where privacy controls or consent mechanisms are provided, they should accurately reflect the tracking technologies actually used on GrammarClearly. We do not intend to represent that a particular cookie or tracking technology is disabled when it remains active. New York’s Attorney General has specifically emphasized that website privacy disclosures and controls should be truthful, clear, and consistent with actual tracking practices.
Analytics
GrammarClearly may use analytics tools to understand general patterns of website usage, such as which pages receive visits, how visitors navigate the website, and how website performance can be improved.
If analytics services are used, the relevant service provider may process certain technical and usage information according to its own privacy policy and applicable terms.
We recommend that visitors review the privacy policies of any third-party analytics provider used on the website if they want more information about how that provider handles information.
Advertising
GrammarClearly may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising networks.
If advertising services are used, advertising providers may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to provide, measure, or personalize advertisements, subject to their own policies and applicable laws.
The advertising services used on GrammarClearly may change over time. This Privacy Policy will be updated when necessary to accurately describe material changes to our data practices.
Visitors may also have options for managing certain personalized advertising preferences through the relevant advertising provider or device and browser settings.
Third-Party Services
GrammarClearly may use third-party services to support website functionality, analytics, advertising, security, hosting, communication, or other legitimate purposes.
These third parties may process information on our behalf or independently according to their own privacy policies and applicable terms.
Examples may include website hosting providers, analytics providers, advertising networks, email or communication services, security services, and other technology providers.
We do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or services. Visitors should review the applicable privacy policies of third parties when using their services.
Third-Party Links
GrammarClearly may contain links to websites operated by third parties.
A link to another website does not mean that GrammarClearly controls or endorses that website’s privacy practices.
Once you leave GrammarClearly and visit a third-party website, that website’s own privacy policy and terms may apply. We encourage visitors to review those policies before providing personal information to third parties.
Information You Voluntarily Provide
If you contact us, submit a comment, subscribe to an available service, or otherwise provide information voluntarily, we may use the information you provide to respond to your request or provide the relevant service.
For example, if you send us an email, we may use your email address and the information in your message to respond to you.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information through public comments, contact forms, or other website features unless it is specifically requested and necessary for the relevant purpose.
Comments and User-Submitted Content
If GrammarClearly provides a commenting or submission feature, information you choose to publish publicly may be visible to other visitors.
You should exercise caution before posting personal information in a public comment or submission.
We may moderate, remove, or decline to publish submissions that violate our website rules, applicable laws, or reasonable content standards.
How We Share Information
We do not intend to sell personal information simply because you visit or use GrammarClearly.
Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary for purposes such as:
- Providing website hosting and technical services
- Operating analytics or security tools
- Providing advertising services, where applicable
- Responding to your requests
- Protecting the security and integrity of the website
- Complying with legal obligations
- Enforcing our Terms of Service
- Protecting our rights, property, users, or the public
We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, court order, or governmental request, or when disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect against fraud, abuse, security threats, or other unlawful activity.
Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law.
The appropriate retention period may depend on the type of information, why it was collected, whether it is needed to provide a service, legal requirements, security considerations, and other legitimate business purposes.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, it may be deleted, anonymized, or securely disposed of where appropriate.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or destruction.
However, no website, online service, storage system, or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
For this reason, while we work to protect information appropriately, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
GrammarClearly is intended to provide general educational information about English grammar.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through the website for purposes that are prohibited by applicable law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us in a manner that violates applicable requirements, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to supervise children’s online activities and help them understand how to protect personal information when using websites.

Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers and devices provide “Do Not Track” or similar settings.
Because there is not always a uniform technical standard for responding to these signals, GrammarClearly may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track signal unless required by applicable law.
Where applicable law requires a particular response to a recognized privacy signal, we will take reasonable steps to comply with those requirements.
New York Privacy Considerations
GrammarClearly operates with New York, United States as its stated governing jurisdiction.
New York’s privacy and consumer-protection requirements emphasize truthful and non-misleading representations concerning website tracking and privacy choices. Accordingly, we aim to keep this Privacy Policy consistent with the actual technologies and data practices used on the website.
Because privacy requirements may depend on factors such as the nature of a website, the information collected, the services used, and the location of visitors, this Privacy Policy does not claim to provide a complete description of every privacy law that could potentially apply to every visitor.
International Visitors
GrammarClearly may be accessible to visitors from locations outside New York or the United States.
If you access the website from another jurisdiction, information may be processed in the United States or other locations where GrammarClearly, its service providers, or other relevant third parties operate.
Different jurisdictions may provide different privacy rights. Where applicable, we will handle personal information in accordance with the legal requirements that apply to our activities.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, technology, services, legal requirements, or data practices.
When changes are made, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
We encourage visitors to review this page periodically to stay informed about how information is handled.
Governing Law
This Privacy Policy shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Any matters relating to this Privacy Policy or the privacy practices of GrammarClearly shall be subject to the applicable laws and courts of New York, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
