Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This policy applies to the Military Benefits app (“the App”), operated by [LEGAL NAME]. We are an independent developer and are not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), or any government agency.

2. Information we collect

• Installation identifier. When you first open the App, we create a random, unsigned installation token that is stored securely on your device. It is not tied to your name, email, or any external account, and it cannot be used to identify you.
• Onboarding selections. Your military persona and your savings estimate are calculated from public benefit information. Your benefit-interest selections are used to personalize the estimate and are not saved as part of your profile.
• Saved offers. The offers you save are stored against your installation identifier so they appear on your Home screen.
• Community submissions and reports. If you submit a community benefit or location, the name, address or city, description, and eligibility details you provide are published in the App for other users and labeled “Community submitted.” Reports you send about a listing are kept private.
• Location. If you allow it, we use your device location to show discounts near you on the Map. You can instead enter a ZIP code or city. Location is optional and can be revoked at any time in your device settings.
• Purchase information. Subscriptions are sold and processed by Apple through the App Store. We receive your subscription status (active or expired) so we can grant or restrict access. We never receive or store your payment card details.
• Analytics. We use an analytics service (PostHog) with an anonymous, device-local identity to understand how the onboarding flow performs. Events record steps entered and completed and do not include your onboarding answers or any military, financial, health, or location details.

3. How we use information

We use the information above to provide the App, keep your saved offers and membership state, personalize your estimate, operate the community features, process subscriptions through Apple, and improve the App through aggregate analytics. We do not sell or rent your information.

4. What we share

• Apple processes all payments and subscription management.
• PostHog processes anonymous analytics events on our behalf.
• Community submissions are public by design and can be read by anyone using the App.

5. Your choices and deletion

You can delete your App data at any time from Settings → Delete data. This removes your installation token, saved offers, community submissions and reports, and membership state from our systems. Subscription cancellation is handled through Apple: your Apple ID settings → Subscriptions.

6. Children

The App is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Security

The installation token is stored in your device’s secure storage and all network communication is encrypted. Because the token is a bearer credential, it should not be copied or shared.

8. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The updated policy will be posted at this URL with a new effective date.
