4. Your photos and artwork
We know the photos you upload are personal, often of family, children or your home.

- We do not use your photos in our marketing, website, catalogue or social media without your separate written permission.
- We keep your uploaded files for up to 3 months after delivery, so we can reprint if something goes wrong. After that we delete them from our systems. If you want them deleted sooner, email info@canvasgroove.in. Before you request this, note that we can't reprint an order once its files are deleted.
5. Who we share data with
We share personal data only as needed to run the business, with service providers who are bound to protect it:
- Courier and logistics partners: name, phone and address, to deliver your order.
- Razorpay: to process payments and refunds.
- Hosting and IT providers: the servers and cloud services that run the Site, store order data and run our WhatsApp support system.
- WhatsApp (Meta): when you chat with us on WhatsApp, your messages are handled by WhatsApp. They are also stored in our customer-support inbox so we can reply and follow up on your order.
- Google (Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager): website traffic and usage measurement.
- Microsoft Clarity: records how visitors use the Site, such as clicks, scrolling and mouse movement, through heatmaps and session replays. This helps us find and fix problems. Clarity is set to mask text you type into form fields.
- Meta (Facebook / Instagram) Pixel and Conversions API: to measure our ads and show Canvas Groove ads to people who visited the Site. Where we send contact details such as email or phone to Meta for ad matching, they are hashed (scrambled) before sending.
- Government and legal authorities: when required by law, a court order, or for tax and GST compliance.
Some of these providers may store or process data on servers outside India. Where that happens, we transfer data only as allowed under Indian law.
