Privacy Policy

At Granville General Store, we believe that everyone belongs here. Whether you’re shopping for daily essentials or a special gift, we are committed to protecting your data and ensuring our digital aisles are easy for everyone to navigate.

1. Our Privacy Commitment
We respect your privacy like we respect our neighbors. We only collect the information necessary to get your orders to your doorstep and improve your shopping experience.
What We Collect: Name, shipping address, email, and payment information (processed securely through encrypted partners).
How We Use It: To fulfill orders, provide customer support, and—if you opt-in—send you updates on new arrivals or local events.
Data Protection: We never sell your personal data to third parties. Your information is guarded with industry-standard encryption.
Cookies: Our site uses cookies to remember what’s in your cart and to help us understand how people use our site. You can disable these in your browser settings at any time.
Your Rights: You have the right to request a copy of the data we hold about you or ask us to delete it entirely. 
2. Accessibility for All
A general store should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. We are constantly working to align our website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.
Current Features Include:
Keyboard Navigation: Our site is designed to be fully navigable without a mouse.
Alt-Text: We provide descriptive text for images so screen readers can describe our products accurately.
Contrast & Clarity: We use high-contrast colors and legible fonts to ensure readability for users with low vision.
Consistent Layout: A predictable structure helps users find what they need quickly every time they visit.
3. We’re Still Growing
We know that technology changes and we might not get everything perfect the first time. If you encounter any barriers while using our site, please let us know. We view accessibility as an ongoing journey, not a finished task.
4. Third-Party Links
Our site may contain links to other websites (like local makers or delivery partners). Please note that we don’t control their privacy or accessibility policies, so we encourage you to check theirs out individually.
