Editor's Notes
Currently we’re asking customers to sign a waiver affirming that their job doesn’t violate anyone else’s copyright, and then we’re keeping the data files on our server for one semester (in case they want another print), then purging them. Currently working on a permissions form that will let them give us the right to keep the data files indefinitely, share them for reuse, take (and disseminate) photos of their projects, etc.
