Big scary warning, I like it. Swiftkey does badger people to enable it though, so presumably it's sending a lot of data back to their servers as a business model. Nasty.

SwiftKey says they do not send any data unless you explicitly enable it (separately from Full Access):

Nice scary warning indeed. Default/Suggested action should probably be "Don't allow" tho.

well swiftkey iirc does some data analysis on stuff like commonly used words and then uses those for suggestions for new users. its not totally without user benefit, though the potential for evil is certainly there.

Is a keylogger the best way to determine a list of commonly used words?

While it has the potential for privacy issues, it is also the basis for the entire product. The only way to build prediction is to have data.

I think Nasty is a bit strong here.
