Grammarly

I have been seeing advertisements for "Grammarly", an editing tool. At first glance it seemed like it could be useful. I recall that Wordperfect used to have a grammar checker but somehow I got away from that, though I do not know why.
As I have gathered information on the use of Grammarly, they list a plagiarism detector which is not important to me, but its existence makes me question the security of my own work. I am not using Google's net based storage, and have no plans to use OneDrive for the same reason. Instead, I have three one terabyte portable drives which I unplug when not in use. I had thought that they were solid state drives but found out that they are "spinny" drives.
I'll not use Grammarly at least until I know more about how much it accesses the internet and more about the security of my own stories.
I would really like to use this software but am being very cautious about it.
