VACB Site Information
Privacy Policy
VA Claim Buster (VACB) and VA Math Buster are educational tools designed to help veterans understand VA disability claims, disability ratings, VA math, and related educational information. VA Math Buster is a mobile application operated as part of the VA Claim Buster platform.
This Privacy Policy applies to both the VA Claim Buster website and the VA Math Buster mobile application.
VA Math Buster mobile app
The VA Math Buster app is currently free. In-app purchases are planned for future features.
VA Math Buster allows users to enter disability percentages and related selections to calculate combined VA disability ratings and provide educational information. Users are not required to provide medical records, Social Security numbers, VA claim numbers, or financial account information to use the app's core calculator features.
VA Math Buster may use third-party services for functions such as advertising, analytics, crash reporting, app distribution, and payment processing. Those providers may process limited technical information such as device information, app version, advertising identifiers, interaction data, or crash information according to their own privacy policies.
Purchases made through Google Play or Apple services are processed by those platforms. VA Math Buster does not receive or store users' full payment card information.
VA Math Buster is an educational tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or operated by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or any other government agency. The app does not provide medical advice, legal advice, or guarantee entitlement to VA benefits.
What stays in your browser
VACB uses browser storage to remember site choices such as animation settings, saved Intel Center files, saved tools, Alpha Point progress, and Founding Series activity. That information stays on the device and browser where you used the site unless you clear it. VACB does not use those preferences to create a VA claim profile.
Technical site data
The hosting provider may process ordinary request data needed to deliver and protect the site, such as an IP address, browser type, requested page, timestamp, and security logs. VACB does not ask the hosting provider to turn that technical traffic into medical, disability, or claim-strategy profiles.
Messages you choose to send
VACB receives the information you voluntarily include in an email, correction report, or glitch report. The site’s hosting provider processes form submissions so VACB can review and respond to them. Send only what is needed to explain the site issue.
Do not send claim files, medical records, Social Security numbers, VA file numbers, passwords, or VA.gov login information.
General questions may be sent to buster@vaclaimbuster.com. Error and glitch forms are available through the Contact / Corrections Desk.
Outside links
VACB links to VA.gov, regulations, forms, court materials, and outside services such as Buster Apparel. When you leave VACB, the other site’s privacy practices apply. VACB does not control how an outside site handles information you give it.
What VACB does not do
- VACB does not sell personal information.
- VACB does not require a veteran to upload evidence or a decision letter to use the public site.
- VACB does not ask for VA.gov credentials or access a visitor’s VA account.
- VACB does not use browser preferences to decide a claim or provide individualized claim advice.
Changes to this policy
If VACB adds a contact form, analytics, accounts, or another feature that materially changes data handling, this page will be updated before or when that feature launches, and the effective date will change.
