How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information only as needed with trusted service providers, such as:

Ecommerce platform and website tools (e.g., Shopify and related apps)

Payment processors to process transactions

Shipping carriers to deliver orders

Service providers that help us run our business (accounting, customer support tools, email/phone providers)
These providers are only permitted to use your information to perform services for us.
We may also share information if required to comply with the law, respond to lawful requests, protect our rights, or prevent fraud.
Custom Artwork, Proofs, and Production Files
To complete custom orders, we may store artwork/files you provide (and the production files we create) for order fulfillment, reorders, and quality control.
If you want us to delete your stored artwork after an order is complete, contact us and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request, unless we need to keep certain records for legal, tax, or warranty reasons.
Photos and Marketing Use (Portfolio Rights)
By placing an order with Granite City Graphics, you agree that we may photograph or video your finished product(s) and use images of the work for our portfolio and marketing (including our website, social media, and other advertising).
If you do not want your order shared, you must notify us in writing before production begins (email is fine). Once a “do not post” request is received, we will not use your project for marketing going forward.
