Your Privacy Matters
At Veterans Benefits Source, we respect your privacy and recognize the importance of protecting your personal information.
Our mission is to help veterans understand their benefits, not to collect unnecessary information about them.
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit our website, how that information is used, and the choices available to you.
1. Who We Are
Veterans Benefits Source is an independent educational website operated by The Veterans Source, LLC, providing information, tools, and resources about veterans benefits.
Website: https://sourceforvets.com
Contact: admin@sourceforvets.com
Veterans Benefits Source is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or any other government agency.
2. Information We Collect
Information You Voluntarily Provide
When you contact us by email or through a website form, we may receive information such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
We use this information to review your inquiry, respond when appropriate, and improve our website and educational resources.
Please do not send Social Security numbers, VA claim numbers, medical records, financial account information, or other sensitive personal information through general contact channels.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, our hosting provider and website technologies may automatically process technical information, including IP address, browser and operating system, pages requested and approximate access times, referring websites, and device information.
This information may be used to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website.
Information Entered Into Our VA Disability Rating Calculator
Our VA Disability Rating Calculator processes the disability ratings and extremity selections you enter directly within your web browser.
The calculator does not transmit those entries to our website servers, store them in a database, or save them in browser cookies or local storage.
Your entries are used only to calculate and display an estimated combined disability rating. This does not prevent ordinary technical information about your visit from being processed by our website hosting and security services.
3. How We Use Information
We may use information collected through our website to operate and maintain it, respond to messages and feedback, correct errors, monitor functionality and security, prevent spam and abuse, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not use personal information to evaluate visitors' eligibility for VA benefits or make decisions about their claims.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies for essential website functions, security, performance, or other purposes, including features associated with WordPress, our hosting provider, and LiteSpeed Cache.
Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function properly. Others may be associated with optional features or third-party services. You can manage cookies through your browser settings or available website privacy controls.
We have not identified an active Google Analytics or advertising-tracking plugin in the current WordPress installation. This does not establish that no other cookies or technical logging occur. We will update this policy if our use of tracking technologies changes.
5. Sharing Information
We do not sell veterans' personal information, contact lists, or leads to marketers, claims representatives, law firms, or other businesses.
Information may be processed by service providers supporting hosting, email, security, or technical support. We may disclose information when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect the website's security, rights, or operation.
We do not provide visitors' personal information to third parties for the purpose of soliciting veterans to purchase claims representation services.
6. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to the Department of Veterans Affairs, federal government resources, and other independent websites.
We do not control third-party websites or their privacy practices. Embedded third-party services may process information under their own policies.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information handled through our website, but no website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
Please avoid sending confidential medical, financial, or identifying information through general website contact channels.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, website security, and legal obligations. Retention periods may vary by system and information type.
9. Your Privacy Choices
You may contact us to request information about personal data you have provided or to ask that it be corrected or deleted, subject to applicable law and legitimate retention requirements.
You may manage cookies through your browser settings. Additional privacy rights may apply depending on where you live.
To submit a privacy request, email admin@sourceforvets.com.
10. Children's Privacy
Veterans Benefits Source is intended primarily for adults. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we collected such information in circumstances requiring parental consent, we will take appropriate steps under applicable law.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our website, technology, practices, or legal requirements. We will update the effective date, and may provide additional notice of material changes.
