Is it safe to use Grammarly?

Grammarly works online every text scanned by it goes to their servers for processing after which the text is disassociated from your account and then deleted. It is available on Chrome Web Store, Google Play Store and iOS app Store, if it had security issues then Google or Apple would have removed it like they do for many other apps.
