Privacy policy

Last updated: 10 November 2026

In short

We only collect what you give us to reply to your message, make your design, sell you a template or verify your payment.
No ads, no analytics, no tracking cookies, and we never sell your data.
Your payment screenshots and orders are visible only to Sunil.
You can ask us to show, correct or delete your data at any time.

1. Who we are

This website and the Smart Edits template store are run by Sunil Kumar Munagala, trading as Smart Edits (“we”, “us”). For the personal data described here we are the “Data Fiduciary” under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act). This policy is also published under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and its rules.

Questions about your data go to our Grievance Officer. Their details are on the Contact & grievances page.

2. What we collect and why

When	What	Why
You browse the website	Nothing is stored by us. The servers that deliver the site, fonts and scripts see your IP address and browser type, as every website does.	To show you the pages.
You send a message or brief with the form on this website	Your name, church or ministry, phone number and/or email, the topic, what you need and by when, your message, and the page you sent it from. It is saved in our database and only Sunil can read it.	To reply to you, prepare a quote and handle your request.
We work together on a project (by phone, WhatsApp, Instagram or email)	Your name, number or handle, and anything you send: sermon titles, photos, logos, songs, lyrics, links.	To quote, make, revise and deliver your work.
You sign in to the store	Your email address. You sign in with a one-time code sent to it.	To give you an account and a library of your purchases.
You place an order	Name, WhatsApp number, email, items and amount, the 12-digit UPI transaction reference (UTR) and your payment screenshot.	To check the payment reached us, unlock your downloads, contact you about the order and keep accounting records.
You download a file	Which file and when (a one-time download link is created for you).	To stop download links being shared, and to help if a download fails.
On your own device	Your cart, and your name and WhatsApp number to pre-fill checkout.	So you don’t have to type them again. See the Cookie policy.

We do not collect your UPI PIN, bank account or card details. Payments happen in your own UPI app; we only see what you send us as proof.

3. Why we are allowed to use it

We use your data because you give it to us for a specific purpose (a design, an order or a question) and agree to that use, and where Indian law requires us to keep records, such as accounts and tax records. We only use it for the purposes above. If we ever want to use it for something new, we will ask first.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. This does not undo what was done before, and we may then be unable to finish an order or project.

We never sell or rent your data, and we do not run ads or analytics. We use a few services to run the site. They only process data on our instructions:

Supabase: our database, store sign-in, sign-in code emails and private file storage (orders, payment screenshots, template files). Its servers may be outside India.
Our web host: delivers the website files.
Google Fonts and jsDelivr: deliver the fonts and a script library. They receive your IP address but set no cookies.
WhatsApp, Instagram (Meta) and email providers: only when Sunil replies to you there, or you choose to contact us there. Their own privacy policies apply.

We may also share data if the law, a court or a government authority requires it, or to protect ourselves against fraud (for example a fake payment proof).

5. Your work in our portfolio

We may show finished designs and videos in our portfolio and on our social media. These may include church names, event names and photos you supplied. If you would rather we didn’t, tell us and we will take them down. Ministries listed under “Trusted by” are shown with their public channel pictures and links.

If you send photos of other people, especially children, please make sure they (or their parent or guardian) are happy for them to appear in your design.

6. How long we keep it

Messages from the website form: until your request is dealt with, then deleted when no longer needed. You can ask us to delete them sooner.
Chats and project files: for as long as the project and any later revisions need them, then deleted when you ask or when no longer needed.
Orders, UTRs and payment screenshots: as long as Indian law requires us to keep accounting records (generally up to 8 years), then deleted.
Store account: until you ask us to delete it. Order records the law requires us to keep are kept separately.
Data on your device: until you clear it, sign out, or finish checkout.

7. How we protect it

The site runs over HTTPS. Orders, payment screenshots and paid template files are stored privately: database rules let each buyer see only their own orders, and only Sunil can see everyone’s. Download links are personal and expire after use. No system is perfectly secure, but if a breach affects your data we will tell you and the Data Protection Board of India, as the law requires.

8. Your rights

Under the DPDP Act you can:

ask for a summary of the personal data we hold about you and who we shared it with;
ask us to correct, complete or update it;
ask us to delete it (except records the law requires us to keep);
withdraw your consent;
nominate someone to use these rights for you if you die or cannot act yourself;
complain to us, and if you are not satisfied, to the Data Protection Board of India.

To use any of these rights, send us a personal data request. We will reply within 30 days.

9. Children

Our services are for adults. If you are under 18, please ask a parent or guardian to contact us or place the order for you. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

10. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use data you already gave us, we will tell you before it applies.
