Key takeaways
- Do not enter Social Security numbers, DoD IDs or account passwords.
- Use example or non-identifying performance inputs while reviewing a tool.
- Emailing us sends information through your email provider.
- Website delivery can involve technical network data even when calculations run locally.
What personal information should I keep off this site?
Keep military identifiers, medical documents, pay statements and account credentials off the website and out of support messages.
A planning calculation should need performance or table-selection inputs, not proof of your identity. Do not upload a profile, LES or a photograph of an official record to ask about a calculator. Ask the appropriate service office through its official channel instead.
Does a local calculation mean there are no server logs?
No; browser-based arithmetic and the delivery of a web page are different processes.
The site’s hosting infrastructure can process technical information such as IP addresses, request details and network-security data. Cloudflare’s policy describes end-user and network-data processing, but does not establish which optional settings are enabled for this particular site. 1 We do not make an absolute “no logs” or anonymous-use guarantee.

| Action | Privacy consideration |
|---|---|
| Opening a page | Delivery and security infrastructure may process technical request data. |
| Following an official-source link | You leave this website and use the other site under its own terms. |
| Emailing website support | Your address, message and any attachment reach the receiving mailbox. |

How should I handle saved or printed results?
Treat any result containing personal measurements as a document you control and protect it accordingly.
Check the browser’s print preview, use a private printer when possible, and remove copies from shared devices when finished. Do not put identifiers or sensitive information in a page address or a screenshot you intend to share.
