Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 13, 2026

Skills Quest (“Skills Quest,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates skillsquest.pk and provides educational resources, career tools, university calculators, career-development content, and related services.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you when you use Skills Quest.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

We may collect information that you voluntarily submit through forms, tools, contact pages, registrations, surveys, or other features.

Depending on the service, this may include:

  • name
  • email address
  • phone number
  • education or career information
  • CV or resume information
  • LinkedIn-related information
  • job preferences
  • skills and professional experience
  • information entered into career tools
  • messages sent through our contact forms
  • other information you choose to provide

We only ask for information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant service.

Information Entered Into Tools

Skills Quest provides tools such as GPA calculators, career tools, and profile or job-related utilities.

Some tools may process information directly in your browser, while others may send information to a server or third-party service in order to generate a result.

When a tool uses an external service, we aim to clearly describe that processing where appropriate.

Information entered into a tool is not automatically added to a Skills Quest candidate profile, candidate database, or employer-accessible profile unless the user explicitly chooses to submit or save that information.

GPA and CGPA Calculators

University GPA and CGPA calculators may process information such as:

  • course names
  • marks
  • grades
  • credit hours
  • current GPA or CGPA
  • completed credit hours
  • target CGPA

The calculators are designed for academic planning and estimation.

Skills Quest does not require users to submit personally identifying information in order to use GPA calculators.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit Skills Quest, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including:

  • IP address
  • browser type
  • device type
  • operating system
  • pages visited
  • referring website
  • approximate location derived from network information
  • date and time of access
  • interactions with the website

This information may be collected through server logs, analytics services, cookies, or similar technologies.

How We Use Information

We may use information to:

  • provide and operate Skills Quest services
  • respond to enquiries
  • generate requested tool results
  • improve website functionality
  • understand how users interact with the website
  • improve educational and career resources
  • maintain website security
  • prevent abuse, spam, or misuse
  • troubleshoot technical problems
  • communicate with users who have requested updates
  • provide candidate or employer services where users explicitly opt in
  • comply with legal obligations

We do not sell users’ personal information to advertisers.

Candidate Information

Skills Quest may introduce features that allow candidates to create profiles, join a candidate pool, upload CVs, or make selected career information available to employers.

Participation in such services will be voluntary.

Where candidate information may be shared with employers or recruiters, Skills Quest will seek appropriate consent and provide relevant information about how that data may be used.

Submitting information to a career tool does not, by itself, mean that the user has joined the Skills Quest Candidate Pool.

Third-Party Services

Skills Quest may use third-party service providers for functions such as:

  • website hosting
  • analytics
  • email delivery
  • spam prevention
  • AI-powered tools
  • advertising
  • form processing
  • security
  • website performance

These providers may process limited information in order to provide their services.

Their handling of information is governed by their respective privacy policies and agreements.

Artificial Intelligence Tools

Some Skills Quest tools may use third-party artificial intelligence services to generate results.

When such a tool is used, information submitted to that tool may be sent to the relevant service provider for processing.

Users should not submit:

  • passwords
  • payment-card information
  • government identity numbers
  • confidential employer information
  • highly sensitive personal information

unless a specific Skills Quest feature explicitly requires and securely supports such information.

AI-generated results may contain errors and should be reviewed by the user before being relied upon.

Cookies

Skills Quest may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • remember preferences
  • understand website usage
  • maintain security
  • measure website performance
  • support advertising
  • improve user experience

More information is available in our Cookie Policy.

Advertising

Skills Quest may display advertising, including advertising delivered through third-party advertising networks such as Google.

Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own policies.

If advertising is introduced, we will use reasonable measures to provide required notices and consent mechanisms where applicable.

Analytics

Skills Quest may use analytics tools to understand aggregate website usage.

Analytics may collect information such as:

  • visited pages
  • session duration
  • device information
  • traffic source
  • approximate geographic information

We use this information to improve the website and understand which resources are useful to users.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for:

  • providing the relevant service
  • maintaining legitimate business records
  • resolving disputes
  • preventing fraud or abuse
  • complying with legal requirements

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and service.

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information.

However, no website, database, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information.

Your Choices

Depending on the service and applicable law, you may request to:

  • access information you have provided
  • correct inaccurate information
  • withdraw consent for optional processing
  • request deletion of information
  • unsubscribe from marketing communications

To make a privacy-related request, contact:

[privacy@skillsquest.pk]

or

[your preferred contact email]

We may need to verify the request before taking action.

External Links

Skills Quest may link to university websites, employers, job platforms, educational resources, or other external websites.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of third-party websites.

Children’s Privacy

Skills Quest is not intended to knowingly collect unnecessary personal information from children.

If a service is intended for minors, appropriate safeguards and consent requirements should be considered before collecting personal data.

If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, contact us so we can review the matter.

These calculators are independent tools.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise:

  • higher rankings on a platform
  • any specific career outcome

Users are responsible for reviewing and editing generated content before using it publicly.

Artificial Intelligence

Similarly, candidate information provided through Skills Quest should not be treated by employers as independently verified unless Skills Quest expressly states otherwise.

3. Disclaimer

Last updated: September 13, 2026

Information and tools provided by Skills Quest are intended for general educational, academic, and career-development purposes.

University Calculator Disclaimer

Skills Quest GPA and CGPA calculators are independent tools.

Skills Quest is not affiliated with, sponsored by, approved by, or endorsed by the universities referenced on the website, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

We attempt to base university-specific calculators on published academic regulations and official university documentation where available.

However:

  • regulations can change
  • different admission cohorts may follow different rules
  • individual programs may have exceptions
  • university portals may use additional internal rules
  • official academic records may contain adjustments unavailable to Skills Quest

Calculator results are therefore estimates.

Your university’s official transcript, examination office, academic department, and student portal remain authoritative.

Do not make important academic decisions solely on the basis of a Skills Quest calculation.

GPA-to-Percentage Disclaimer

Skills Quest does not assume that GPA or CGPA can universally be converted into a percentage.

A conversion is provided only where we have reasonable evidence that the relevant institution publishes or recognizes such a method.

Where no verified conversion exists, Skills Quest may decline to provide one.

Career Tools Disclaimer

Career-related tools provide suggestions intended to help users improve their professional materials and positioning.

Skills Quest does not guarantee:

  • employment
  • interviews
  • recruiter responses
  • admission
  • promotion
  • salary increases
  • profile visibility
  • ranking in LinkedIn or other platforms

Career decisions remain the responsibility of the user.

AI Disclaimer

Some Skills Quest tools may use artificial intelligence.

AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or inappropriate.

Users should review AI-generated content before relying on, submitting, publishing, or sharing it.

External Information

Skills Quest may summarize, reference, or link to third-party information.

We do not control external websites and cannot guarantee their continued availability or accuracy.

No Professional Advice

Nothing on Skills Quest should be treated as legal, financial, medical, tax, or other regulated professional advice.

Seek an appropriately qualified professional where such advice is required.

4. Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 13, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Skills Quest may use cookies and similar technologies on skillsquest.pk.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on a user’s device when visiting a website.

They may help a website:

  • remember preferences
  • understand usage
  • maintain security
  • measure performance
  • support advertising

Types of Cookies We May Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies support functions required for the website to operate properly.

They may be used for:

  • security
  • session management
  • form functionality
  • website preferences

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies may help us understand:

  • which pages are visited
  • how users reach the website
  • how long users remain on pages
  • which devices are used
  • how website features perform

This information helps improve Skills Quest.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may remember choices or settings that improve the user experience.

Advertising Cookies

If Skills Quest displays advertising, advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • deliver advertising
  • limit repeated ads
  • measure ad performance
  • personalize advertising where permitted

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy policies.

Google Services

Skills Quest may use Google services such as:

  • Google Analytics
  • Google Search Console
  • Google AdSense

Search Console itself does not normally require a visitor-facing cookie because it primarily provides website search-performance data.

Other Google services may use cookies depending on how they are configured.

Managing Cookies

Users can manage or delete cookies through their browser settings.

Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Where legally required, Skills Quest may provide a cookie consent tool allowing users to manage optional cookies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when website technologies or services change.

The latest version will be posted on this page.

Contact

Questions about cookies may be sent to:

[contact email]

What I recommend you do in WordPress

Create these URLs:

/privacy-policy/
/terms-of-use/
/disclaimer/
/cookie-policy/

Put them in the footer only. They do not need to clutter the main navigation.

For the calculator pages, the global Disclaimer page is useful, but I would still keep the university-specific disclaimer directly on each calculator, because that’s much more visible to the student.

Before you publish these, we need to replace one thing: the contact email. If you don’t yet have a Skills Quest email, I would create something like hello@skillsquest.pk and use that consistently across these legal pages rather than your personal email.

Also, these drafts are practical website documents, not a substitute for review by a Pakistani lawyer once Skills Quest starts collecting candidate CVs, sharing candidate data with employers, taking payments, or operating accounts at scale.

ask me what you need for placeholder here and give me ready content

I can make all four pages fully ready-to-paste with no [placeholder] text. I only need a few details from you first.

Please answer these:

  1. Who legally operates Skills Quest?
    For example:
    • Skills Quest is currently just a brand operated by me personally
    • Skills Quest is a registered company/business
    • Other
  2. What contact email should appear on legal pages?
    Ideally something like hello@skillsquest.pk, support@skillsquest.pk, or privacy@skillsquest.pk.
  3. What location should we publicly show?
    I recommend simply Islamabad, Pakistan rather than publishing your full street address unless necessary.
  4. Which of these are currently active on the website?
    • Contact form
    • Google Analytics
    • Google AdSense
    • Candidate registration/forms
    • User accounts/login
    • Groq/AI-powered tools
    • Email newsletter/marketing
    • None yet / other
  5. Should people under 18 be allowed to use Skills Quest?
    Since students are part of the target audience, my default recommendation is yes, while stating that minors should not submit sensitive personal information and that certain candidate/employer features may have separate eligibility requirements.

You can reply very simply, for example:

Operated personally, not registered yet
Email: hello@skillsquest.pk
Location: Islamabad, Pakistan
Active: Contact form only
Under 18: Yes

Once you give me those details, I’ll return the final Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, Disclaimer, and Cookie Policy, written specifically for the current Skills Quest site rather than filling them with speculative future features.

Operated personally, not registered yet Email: asadmechanic.me@gmail.com Location: Islamabad, Pakistan Active: Contact form only Under 18: Yes

Perfect. Based on what you gave me, here are the final ready-to-paste legal pages with no placeholders.

I’ve written them for the site as it exists now: personally operated, not registered as a company, based in Islamabad, contact form active, no Analytics/AdSense/AI integration currently, and users under 18 are allowed.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 13, 2026

Skills Quest operates the website https://skillsquest.pk.

Skills Quest is currently operated personally by its founder as an unregistered project/business based in Islamabad, Pakistan.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use Skills Quest, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.

Information You Provide

You may voluntarily provide information when you contact Skills Quest through the website.

This may include:

  • your name
  • email address
  • phone number, if you choose to provide it
  • message content
  • any other information you voluntarily include in your enquiry

Please do not send passwords, payment-card information, government identification numbers, or unnecessary sensitive personal information through the contact form.

University GPA and CGPA Calculators

Skills Quest provides university GPA and CGPA calculators for educational and academic-planning purposes.

The current GPA and CGPA calculators are designed to perform calculations directly in your browser.

Information you enter into these calculators, such as:

  • course names
  • marks
  • grades
  • credit hours
  • GPA
  • CGPA
  • target CGPA

is not intentionally saved by Skills Quest as part of a user account, candidate profile, or database.

You do not need to provide your name, email address, or other identifying information to use these calculators.

Automatically Collected Technical Information

Like most websites, limited technical information may be recorded automatically by the website server or hosting provider.

This may include:

  • IP address
  • browser type
  • device type
  • operating system
  • requested pages
  • date and time of access
  • referring website
  • technical error or security information

This information may be used for website operation, security, troubleshooting, and preventing abuse.

Contact Form Information

If you contact Skills Quest through the website, the information you submit may be used to:

  • respond to your enquiry
  • provide requested information
  • investigate a reported issue

If analytics, advertising, or similar technologies are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy may be updated accordingly.

Artificial Intelligence Services

Skills Quest does not currently send information entered into its public website tools to a third-party AI provider.

Future Skills Quest tools may use artificial intelligence or external processing services.

If such tools are introduced, relevant disclosures may be added explaining how submitted information is processed.

Candidate Profiles and Candidate Pool

Skills Quest may introduce candidate profiles, candidate-pool registration, employer services, CV uploads, job opportunities, or similar services in the future.

These services are not covered by any assumption that information entered into a GPA calculator automatically becomes candidate information.

Participation in any future candidate database or employer-sharing service will require a separate voluntary action by the user.

Additional privacy notices or consent terms may be introduced before those services become active.

Cookies

Skills Quest may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for basic website functionality, security, or WordPress operation.

Skills Quest does not currently use advertising cookies or Google Analytics cookies.

See the Cookie Policy for more information.

Third-Party Websites

Skills Quest may link to:

  • academic regulations
  • university documents
  • educational resources
  • external websites

Skills Quest does not control these websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices, content, security, or availability.

You should review the privacy policies of third-party websites before providing them with personal information.

Data Retention

Information submitted through the contact form may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • respond to the enquiry
  • maintain relevant correspondence
  • resolve disputes or technical issues
  • prevent spam or abuse
  • comply with applicable legal requirements

Information that is no longer reasonably required may be deleted.

Data Security

Reasonable efforts are made to protect information processed through Skills Quest.

However, no website, hosting system, email service, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information.

Users Under 18

Skills Quest educational resources and calculators may be used by people under the age of 18.

Users under 18 should avoid submitting unnecessary personal or sensitive information.

Where a future Skills Quest service involves candidate profiles, employer access, payments, or other features that require additional safeguards, separate eligibility requirements or consent rules may apply.

Where reasonably applicable, you may request correction or deletion of information you provided.
