Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

Last updated: January 7, 2025

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

When you use our funeral program template service, we may collect the following personal information:

  • Name and email address (when creating an account)
  • Payment information (processed securely through our payment providers)
  • Communication preferences and support inquiries

Local Data Storage

Important: Your template customization data (text, images, design changes) is stored locally in your browser, not on our servers. This means your personal content remains private and under your control.

Automatically Collected Information

  • IP address and browser information
  • Usage patterns and website interactions
  • Device information and operating system
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

  • Providing and maintaining our template design services
  • Processing payments and managing your account
  • Providing access to purchased templates (templates are delivered for local use)
  • Sending important service updates and notifications
  • Improving our website and user experience
  • Providing customer support and responding to inquiries
  • Preventing fraud and ensuring platform security

Privacy by Design: We do not store your template customizations, personal photos, or memorial content on our servers. All editing happens locally in your browser, ensuring your sensitive information remains private.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: Trusted third-party services that help us operate our platform (payment processors, hosting providers)
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights and safety
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
  • With Your Consent: When you explicitly agree to share information

4. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information:

  • SSL encryption for data transmission
  • Secure servers and databases for account information only
  • Regular security audits and updates
  • Limited access to personal information
  • Secure payment processing through certified providers
  • Local browser storage for template customizations (not transmitted to our servers)

Enhanced Privacy Protection

Your most sensitive data (photos, personal text, memorial content) never leaves your device. This local-first approach provides the highest level of privacy protection for your personal information.

Note: While we strive to protect your account information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. However, your template content remains secure on your local device.
