Privacy policy
Last updated: 2026
The short version
Veteran Field Guide is an informational site. We don't require an account, and we don't store the things you type into our tools (like the rating calculator) on our servers — those run entirely in your browser.
Information we don't collect
We do not ask for or store personal identifiers (SSN, full address, DD-214, medical records). Please don't enter sensitive personal information into any tool here.
Location
If you allow it, your browser may share an approximate location to suggest your state. This happens in your browser; we use a third-party service (OpenStreetMap Nominatim) only to turn coordinates into a state name, and we don't store the result.
Cookies & advertising
This site may display ads through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits. You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings. For more, see how Google uses data. Visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland are shown a consent message and can grant, deny, or manage their advertising choices there at any time.
Links to other sites
We link extensively to official government and partner resources. Their privacy practices are their own — review each site's policy.
