Opinions on Grammerly

All,
   I have recently been asked to evaluate Grammerly for usage on University computers.  I have seen where there have 
been issues in the past with data security but they do not seem to be re-occurring.  The question has been raised  
about password security and disclosure of other sensitive info.  Grammerly’s terms of service and privacy statements 
put the security of this information in the users hands.

   While I do not want to be the bad guy (but I will if I need to be), I also do not want to make this decision in my 
own private bubble.  I would greatly appreciate the communities input on this subject.
