Privacy Policy of Veterank
Veterank is built to serve US Military Veterans, active duty, retirees, and military families. We honor your privacy and will never compromise your trust.
1. Our Privacy Commitment
At Veterank, we believe those who have served and their families deserve a search engine they can trust. We do not profile your search habits, create tracking dossiers, or sell your personal data to advertisers.
2. Cookies & Preferences
a. Functional Cookies
We use cookies solely to preserve your search preferences (such as light/dark mode, SafeSearch filtering, new tab behaviors, and custom domain upranking/downranking). Your veteran mode preferences are saved locally on your device or linked to your account if synced.
b. Engine Health & Analytics
We collect aggregate, non-personally identifiable diagnostic data to monitor engine reliability, server load, and search response times.
3. Third-Party Services & Military Discount Verification
a. Verified Military Discounts
To provide accurate discount instructions and verification dates, we maintain an independent database of military perks. No personal identification or service record numbers are transmitted or stored by Veterank during discount verification.
b. Infrastructure & Edge Security
We use Cloudflare to protect the engine against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and ensure fast page loads worldwide.
c. Query-Based Sponsorships & Affiliates
We support our free services through transparent, non-intrusive query-matched ads and affiliate partnerships. These are never tied to individual tracking profiles.
4. Account Security & Data Control
a. Synced Accounts
If you choose to create an account to sync your custom preferences across devices, we store your email address securely. We will never sell, lease, or rent your email address.
b. Complete Control
You can adjust or clear all your custom preferences and settings at any time directly from the Customize page.
5. Policy Updates
We may periodically update this policy. Any changes will be published here with clear notice to our community.
