Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Usman Zuberi ("I", "me", or "my") collects, uses, discloses, stores, and protects personal information when you access or use my website, services, resources, assessments, calculators, communications, AI systems, software interfaces, workflows, and related digital services (collectively, the "Services").

I am an independent AI consultant. For clients located in Pakistan, I provide Services as a Pakistani sole proprietor under my own name and NTN.
