Privacy

In brief

• There are no accounts and no advertising.
• The site does not hold records about individual veterans.
• The only personal information you can give us is what you choose to type into the corrections or contact form.

Searching

When you search by cemetery name, state, ZIP code or city, what you typed is sent to our server in the page address so the results can be shown. We do not keep a database of searches. Like any website, our hosting provider records routine request logs, which include page addresses and are kept for a limited time for security and troubleshooting.

Your location

The site asks for your device’s location only if you press “Use my current location”. Your browser will ask your permission first. The location is rounded to about one mile, used once to sort results by distance, and not stored by us. You can always type a ZIP code or city instead.

Corrections and contact forms

If you send a report or message, we store:

• what you wrote, and any links you included;
• your email address, only if you gave one;
• the date and time; and
• a scrambled, one-way code derived from your internet address, used only to limit abuse. The address itself is not stored.

Reports are kept in a private database with our hosting provider, Cloudflare, and are read only by the people who maintain the site. Your identity is never published. To have a report deleted, contact us.

Symbolic coins and visited cemeteries

When you leave a symbolic coin on a cemetery page, we store which cemetery, which coin, the date, and the same kind of scrambled one-way code derived from your internet address, used only to limit each visitor to one coin per cemetery per day. No name or message is collected, and only the totals are shown.

When you mark a cemetery as visited, that list is saved in your own browser’s storage on your device. It is not sent to us. Clearing your browser data removes it.

Analytics

The site uses Google Analytics to count visits and a small number of actions, such as how often a search finds nothing or how often people follow a link to an official site. We do not send the words you type into a search, personal names, or your location to Google Analytics. Google sets cookies to distinguish visitors; you can block them in your browser without losing any part of the site.

Outside services

• Cloudflare hosts the site and receives every request, including your internet address, as any host does.
• OpenFreeMap supplies map images. When a page with a map loads, your browser requests them directly from OpenFreeMap, which therefore sees your internet address.
• Google Maps opens only if you press “Get directions”. Nothing is sent to Google before you do.
• Government websites we link to have their own privacy policies.

Fonts are served from this site, not from a third party.

Children

The site is a general reference and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect information from them.
