Here is a sample Privacy Policy tailored for https://skilluponline.online, an online learning platform (e-learning website offering courses, certifications, workshops, user accounts, and possibly AI-driven features).
This is a template — not final legal advice. You should have it reviewed and customized by a qualified lawyer familiar with Pakistani law (since the entity appears to be SECP-registered in Pakistan), as well as any applicable international laws (e.g., if you have users in the EU — GDPR, or users under 13 — COPPA implications).
