Your VA.gov Data,
Synced Read-Only Into VeteranHQ
A read-only sync between VA.gov and your encrypted VeteranHQ account. Claims, ratings, appeals, payments — grounded in your actual administrative record. Syncs automatically while VA.gov is open, approximately every 5 minutes.
What Gets Synchronized
Seven categories of VA.gov data, captured directly from the VA's own systems after you authenticate.
Active Claims
Full visibility into VA processing phases, contentions, tracked items, and decision status.
Disability Ratings
Combined and individual ratings with diagnostic codes, effective dates, and evaluation type.
Appeals
Higher-Level Reviews, Supplemental Claims, Board Appeals with contested issues and event history.
Compensation Payments
Historical disbursements, amounts, dates, payment method, and deposit information.
Service History
Service periods, branches, duty classifications, campaigns, and separation data.
Profile Identity
Core identity fields from VA Vet360 — date of birth, address, telephone.
VA File Number
BIRLS ID captured for form preparation — never stored in browser, encrypted in transit.
Three Steps to Sync
Install
Add to Chrome from the Web Store. No configuration needed.
Authenticate
Sign into VA.gov normally. The extension uses your existing session — never your password.
Sync
Data flows automatically into your encrypted VeteranHQ account. No copying or manual entry.
What the Sync Unlocks
Source-Grounded Form Prep
526EZ, HLR, Supplemental, Board Appeal, ITF, TDIU, and POA forms pre-filled from your actual VA record.
Rating Gap Analysis
Identifies secondary conditions, underrated evaluations, and evidentiary gaps from your live rated conditions.
Real-Time Claim Tracking
Follow each claim across all eight VA processing phases with immediate phase transition visibility.
Record-Grounded Analysis
Strategic recommendations, evidence checklists, and C&P prep grounded in documentary reality, not approximation.
How Your Data Is Protected
In plain English: VeteranHQ reads specific VA.gov data only after you sign into VA.gov yourself. We do not ask for your VA.gov password. We do not submit claims, change your VA profile, or write anything back to VA.gov. The extension only works on VA.gov and VeteranHQ domains. You can remove the extension at any time and request deletion of your synced data. VeteranHQ does not transmit VA.gov session cookies or authorization headers to VeteranHQ servers — VA.gov authentication stays between your browser and VA.gov.
Read-Only Architecture
The extension reads data from VA.gov. It never submits forms, modifies claims, or writes back.
No Credential Storage
Authentication is your existing VA.gov session. We never access, retain, or transmit your password.
Sensitive ID Handling
VA file number is transmitted over HTTPS to encrypted storage and immediately cleared from extension memory.
AES-256-GCM Encryption
All personal data encrypted at rest using the same standard employed in financial and defense systems.
HIPAA-Aligned Infrastructure
Deployed on AWS with a signed BAA. Compute, storage, and AI operate within BAA-covered services.
Full Data Authority
Remove the extension anytime. Request complete deletion of synced data. No hidden persistence or retention.
Why This Extension Needs Permissions
These permissions are powerful. We ask for them because automatic VA.gov sync cannot work without them — not because we want broad access.
| Permission | Why We Need It | What We Don't Do |
|---|---|---|
| va.gov / api.va.gov | Read VA claim, rating, appeal, payment, service, and profile data after you sign into VA.gov | Does not read unrelated websites |
| veteranhq.app | Send synchronized VA.gov data into your encrypted VeteranHQ account | Does not send VA.gov data to unrelated third-party domains |
| cookies | Detect whether you have an active VA.gov session so sync works without asking for VA.gov credentials | Does not collect, transmit, or store VA.gov passwords, MFA codes, or session secrets |
| webRequest | Observe VA.gov API request completion so the extension syncs the correct data after VA.gov loads it | Does not monitor general browsing traffic outside VA.gov/VeteranHQ domains |
| tabs | Detect when you are on a supported VA.gov page and enable sync | Does not build browsing profiles or track unrelated website activity |
| storage | Store minimal extension state — sync status, preferences, and temporary operational flags | Does not store VA file numbers, BIRLS IDs, SSNs, passwords, or VA.gov credentials in browser storage |
| scripting | Inject the read-only sync script only on supported VA.gov pages | Does not modify VA.gov forms, submit claims, change profile data, or write back to VA.gov |

Common Questions
A note from the founder
VeteranHQ is new, and we know that trust matters most when a product handles VA-related data. Our Chrome extension exists for one purpose: to let a veteran sync their own VA.gov data into their encrypted VeteranHQ account. It is read-only. It does not collect passwords, does not modify VA.gov records, and does not access unrelated websites.
We ask for browser permissions that may appear broad because VA.gov data appears across pages and API responses that the extension must observe to provide automatic sync. We use those permissions only for the VA.gov sync workflow and VeteranHQ account connection.
We are publishing our data flows, permission explanations, changelog, and deletion process so veterans can evaluate us clearly. We are early, but we are not asking for blind trust. We are working to earn it through transparency, narrow use of data, and user control.
— Z, Founder
Let your actual record power every analysis.
Install the extension, visit VA.gov, and your claims data syncs automatically. Remove the extension afterward if you prefer — your encrypted data stays.
