Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

At VA Combined Rating Calculator, we value the trust you place in us when planning and evaluating your benefits. This Privacy Policy details how we handle information when you interact with our website.

1. Zero Server-Side Processing of Rating Data

We respect the confidentiality of your health and service-connection information. When you use our VA disability calculator to combine ratings, add bilateral conditions, or select dependency statuses:

  • No database storage: All calculations are performed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No rating lists or calculated values are transmitted to or stored on our servers.
  • Local Browser Storage: The active rating lists are saved locally in your browser's local storage so that your calculations persist if you accidentally refresh the page. You can clear this data at any time by clicking "Clear All" in the calculator.

2. Non-Personal Information We Collect

To monitor website performance, secure our infrastructure, and improve user experience, we collect standard server log files and analytics data. This may include:

  • Browser type, operating system, and device details.
  • Anonymized IP addresses and regional locations.
  • Referral sources and time spent on specific page elements.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We do not use invasive tracking technologies or third-party cookies that trace your activities across other websites. Any cookies used are strictly for basic performance analysis, security mitigation, and storing configuration choices.

4. Third-Party Link Disclaimer

Our website links to official government pages (e.g., VA.gov) and external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content quality, or data policies of these external websites.
