I've been doing photography for decades (astrophotography for only a couple years).
I think you worry for nothing. If your work is not involving nudity or celebrities or other subjects that might be of interest in Buzzfeed or similar, you are protected by the greatest tool of all – lack of interest by those processing it.
I do not mean to imply your work is uninteresting, I do not mean to imply is not not good. Please do not take offense. But with Hubble and JWST and others out there, for free, amateur images are just not going to be high on the list of stolen and abused IP.
Now that said, I would always use reputable labs, and review their terms and conditions. Labs with a reputation to protect are going to be more careful.
Now if you get that photo of the Aliens landing, or a rogue planet crashing into the sun… be careful, do your own processing. For yet another M31…

I agree with Linwood, a professional printing place will generally not be concerned with what you're submitting as they have to crank through quite a few submissions a day. But in any case the risk level is very low except for the obvious subject types. I used to be very concerned about these things, too, and then one day I realized that there really isn't much one can do to ensure people do the right thing. So I stopped worrying about it as one of those things that I have little control over.

Having been involved with copyrighting musical material for the past 5 decades, I understand the concern the OP has. But like Linwood Ferguson wrote, with Hubble and JWST posting images for free, it feels a bit strange to copyright and "own" a work of, say, M31. I recognize that if 100 astrophotographers image and process M31, we will get 100 different interpretations–that's the beauty, the subjectivity, that contributes to making astrophotography so interesting. But to copyright an image of a galaxy that was there millions of years before you were born and will continue to exist millions of years after you die, seems over-the-top to me. On the other hand, if I print out an astrophotograph and frame it nicely and someone wants to purchase it, I have no problem with that either.
