Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
VA Loan Network (“we,” “our,” “us”) operates this website and related services (the “Services”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and the choices and rights you have. By using the Services, you agree to this Policy and our Terms of Use.
VA Loan Network is an independent VA loan education and guidance platform, not a lender. If you request one on one help, we may connect you with an experienced VA loan specialist who can provide required lender disclosures if you choose to apply.
What We Are
We are a VA loan education and guidance platform built for Veterans and Service Members. We are not a mortgage lender, broker, or government agency. Lenders make credit decisions, set pricing, and provide required disclosures. If you request help through our forms, we use the information you provide to coordinate an introduction to a VA loan specialist so you can get clear answers and decide what to do next.
- Not a lender: We do not underwrite, approve, or fund loans.
- Not a government agency: We are not affiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, or any government agency.
- How introductions work: Learn more on Partner Transparency.
Partner and lender policies
If you choose to apply with a lender, that lender’s privacy practices govern their collection and use of information. We do not control lender underwriting decisions or lender disclosures.
Personal Information We Collect
We follow data minimization principles and collect only what is needed to provide the Services you request. Information is collected through forms you submit, automatic data from site usage, and limited information from partners and service providers. Information is transmitted using encrypted connections.
1) Information you provide
- Identity and contact: Name, email, phone, and any contact details you choose to provide.
- Loan intent: City or state, price range, timeline, property type, entitlement status, and preferences.
- Self reported details: Optional information such as a credit band or notes relevant to your request.
2) Automatically collected information
- Device and usage: IP address, device identifiers, pages viewed, time on page, clicks, and referrer information.
- Approximate location: General location derived from IP address.
- Analytics events: Tool usage events such as calculator interactions and form starts.
We use cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) for essential functionality, performance analytics, personalization, and advertising measurement. For details, see our Cookie and Tracking Technologies Policy.
3) Information from third parties
- Service status updates: Limited non credit reporting updates such as contacted, application started, closed, or withdrawn, used to measure service performance and improve the experience.
- Marketing and analytics: Campaign performance data and measurement signals where permitted by law and subject to your choices.

Sensitive Personal Information
We do not request government identification numbers or financial account numbers through our standard site forms. If you provide sensitive information directly to a lender during an application, that lender’s privacy policy governs that information. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics beyond providing the Services you request.
Retention
We keep personal information only as long as necessary for operations, security, compliance, and to support the Services you requested. In some cases, contact information may be retained for up to two years after an introduction to support follow up and quality measurement. Consent records may be retained for accountability. Aggregated or deidentified analytics may be retained longer.
Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and security monitoring. No system is perfect, so use caution online and protect your credentials.
