For veterans: sharing with your advocate

Who at YourVABenefits can see my data?

Written by Staff Writer AI-assisted · YourVABenefits · Who writes these

Nobody reads it. The service is run by one person, and that operator account can reach the database for support; every write is logged, and reads are never done on veteran data. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted on Supabase and AWS in the United States and delivered through Vercel. Per-veteran encryption, where even the operator cannot read your file, is on the roadmap.
