Can the owner of a template edit my work?

I used a template that someone else shared but now they are listed as an owner and I am just an administrator. 

Is this a problem? Can they edit or take content from my site or my domain? I am not quite sure how it works.

The person who shared the template should not remain as the owner of the site. Shortly after you obtained the template, I would expect the template owner to transfer ownership of the site to you. If this hasn't happened within a reasonable period of time then I recommend that you contact them and ask them to do so. Only the current site owner can transfer ownership of the site. 

After they transfer ownership to you, the former owner will remain as a contributor with administrator permissions, unless you remove the previous owner or they manually remove themselves.
