Important before you publish this

Your website currently advertises AI skin/hair analysis and optional high-resolution concern-photo uploads, so I specifically included those provisions.

I would also recommend that your developer add a Privacy Policy link directly beside every form’s “Submit/Book/Send” button, particularly forms that collect name, phone number, email, medical concerns or photographs.

One important point: this is a website-ready privacy-policy draft, not legal advice. Because VK handles potentially sensitive health information and may process information through AI, payments, analytics and marketing platforms, it would be sensible to have an Indian privacy lawyer review the final version before publication.
