Effective October 17, 2026. This notice describes this initial edition of Veteran Claims Guide.

Information You Enter

The guide library’s search, rating estimator, and preparation checklist run in your browser. We do not provide medical-record uploads, accounts, contact forms, or claim submission on this site. Do not enter identifying or medical information into the search field.

Optional Saved Progress

If you select “Save On This Device,” your chosen checklist path and checked steps are stored in this browser under the key vbg-preparation-v1. Anyone using the same browser may see them. They remain until cleared through this site or your browser settings. Downloads are saved where your browser stores files; deleting browser progress does not delete downloaded copies.

Hosting And Technical Information

The site is hosted by Netlify. Like other web hosting providers, Netlify may process IP addresses, request paths, browser information, and security or delivery logs to operate the service. See Netlify’s Privacy Statement for its practices. A cached offline notice supports basic app behavior; the site does not cache entered claim information or your full checklist through its service worker.

Analytics, Advertising, And Cookies

This edition does not install analytics, advertising pixels, marketing cookies, third-party embeds, or a lead-tracking service. It does not sell visitor records or submit checklist entries to a CRM. Browser storage is limited to the optional saved checklist and the offline notice cache.

External Links

VA and other linked sites have their own policies. Following a link leaves this site. We use a no-referrer policy so the destination does not receive the originating page address from your browser.

Privacy Contact

A dedicated operator privacy contact has not yet been established for this initial review edition. For now, use the site without saving progress, or clear your browser’s site data if you prefer. A named operator and contact channel are required before the full public launch.
