Privacy Policy

What we collect

This website does not require an account. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personal information from you simply by browsing the site.

We collect information only in the following narrow cases:

• Aggregate site analytics. We use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand how pages perform and which routes are viewed. Both are cookieless and do not track individual visitors across sites. No personal identifiers are stored.
• Error reporting. We use Sentry to capture technical errors so we can fix them. Our Sentry configuration strips email addresses, IP addresses, and sensitive query parameters before events are transmitted. Error reports are retained by Sentry for a limited period and used only to diagnose and repair issues.
• Donations.When you donate, you are redirected to a Stripe-hosted checkout page. Any information you enter there — name, billing address, payment details, email for receipt — is collected and processed by Stripe under Stripe’s privacy policy. Vital Warrior receives a record of the donation (amount, date, donor name and email for acknowledgment and tax receipts) but never receives or stores your payment card information.
• Email correspondence. If you email us at info@vitalwarrior.org, we retain that correspondence to respond to you. We do not add you to any mailing list.

Cookies

We do not set tracking cookies on this website. Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights are cookieless. Stripe and other third-party services linked from the site set their own cookies when you visit them; those cookies are governed by those services’ policies.

Third parties we rely on

Vital Warrior does not sell or rent your information to anyone. We use a small set of service providers to operate the site:

• Vercel— hosts this website and provides performance analytics.
• Stripe— processes donations. Stripe’s privacy practices are described at stripe.com/privacy.
• Sentry— receives scrubbed error reports used only to diagnose and repair site issues.

Donor records and tax acknowledgments

As a 501(c)(3) organization, we retain records of donations for as long as required by U.S. tax law, and we issue written acknowledgments for gifts of $250 or more in accordance with IRS requirements. Donor records are stored within Stripe and accessed only by authorized Vital Warrior personnel for the purposes of record-keeping, tax acknowledgment, and donor communication about the gift itself.

Children

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

Your choices

Because we do not maintain individual visitor profiles, there is typically nothing to access, correct, or delete on our side. If you have donated and would like a copy of your donation record, would like your contact information corrected, or have any other privacy-related request, email us at info@vitalwarrior.org and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Future services

Vital Warrior is building a digital platform that will provide veterans with free access to guided practice, breathwork, and meditation content, funded by civilian subscriptions. When that platform launches, it will require an account and will collect information necessary to verify veteran status (through ID.me) and to deliver the service. This policy will be updated before any such collection begins, and the updated policy will govern the platform.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site and our services evolve. Material changes will be reflected by a new effective date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
