GOOD TO KNOW
Safety and privacy
Rewrites can change meaning
Shorter is not always clearer; keep necessary nuance, technical terms and your own rhythm.
Protect private material
Hemingway says it does not sell your data or let others use it to train AI, but unpublished and regulated text still needs an approved workflow.
Keep human control
Accept only changes you understand and can defend as your own writing.
