Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Graphite Ecosystem Partner Program?
The Graphite Ecosystem Partner Program transforms a supplier's static compliance profile into an active, high-visibility growth engine. By participating, suppliers unlock commercial growth, network trust, and program privileges through a unified network:

- Commercial Perks & Program Privileges: Members access pre-negotiated commercial rates and specialized terms across vetted partners—including working capital, dynamic discounting, logistics, and ESG compliance tools—plus priority access to emerging platform features and predictive analytics dashboards.
What supplier information can Graphite provide to partners?
Graphite may share general company-level profile information, business contact details for personnel/representatives, tax details, operational capabilities, product/service catalogs, and non-sensitive compliance, risk, and security attestations.

Suppliers can update visibility and sharing preferences directly inside their Graphite account settings or by submitting a request to privacy@graphiteconnect.com.
What happens after a supplier opts out?
Graphite will stop sharing and licensing the supplier’s profile data to third-party commercial partners. The supplier’s profile will remain accessible only to enterprise buyers with whom the supplier has an existing, direct connection or invitation.
Are Graphite marketing and partner sharing separate preferences?

How does participation work differently for EU/UK suppliers?
For individuals and entities subject to EU, UK, or Swiss data protection laws (GDPR), personal data processing relies on strict lawful bases and enhanced individual rights.
