DAV and its service providers may collect Personal Information in a variety of instances. For example, we may collect information about you in the following circumstances:
National Service Program. Although DAV operates a number of charitable programs that serve the interests of its constituency, its marquee program, and the one for which it is best known, is the National Service Program. Through that program, and from approximately one hundred locations around the United States and Puerto Rico, DAV’s service officers provide free assistance to veterans with their claims for benefits from the VA. If you retain DAV to assist you with receiving your VA benefits, you consent to allowing DAV to have access to your Personal Information and health information (specifically your VA file). DAV does not keep copies of VA files or any medical records the file contains. With that being said, certain health information may be noted in DAV’s proprietary case management system and in legal briefs/submissions filed on your behalf.
Membership Applications. DAV has more than a million members, all of whom are service-connected disabled veterans. DAV’s membership application requests certain health information about a veteran’s service-connected disability. With your expressed consent, this information may be stored electronically so that we can let you know about services and programs that may assist you.
Site and App Use. We may collect Personal Information through your use of the Sites and mobile applications.
Donations and Bequests. If you donate to DAV or represent an estate or trust that gives to DAV, we will collect Personal and Demographic Information from you that may include: your name, address, telephone number, and/or email address so that we can send you a receipt and thank you for your donation. We will then store your data in our Systems for purposes addressed in Section IV unless you expressly opt-out. We may also collect limited financial information to process your donations, but we do not save or store financial information.
Employment or Volunteer Participation. If you seek employment with DAV or volunteer for DAV, we will collect information related to your role. For instance, we will collect employment
