Privacy
Your Name Stays Yours
We built this community around anonymity. Here is exactly what we collect, what we never ask for, and how to walk away clean.

Handles only — never your real name
You join Foxhole Forum with a handle you choose. We do not ask for your legal name, unit, service number, rank, or address. Branch and era are optional, self-reported, and used only for badges. Your email is for sign-in and account recovery only — it is never shown publicly. There is no feature anywhere on this site that collects your real name.
We do not sell your data
Full stop. We never sell, rent, or trade your information to anyone. We do not share it with data brokers, advertisers, or the VA. The only data we hold is what you need to use the forum, and we keep it to the minimum.
No ads, no trackers
Foxhole Forum carries no third-party advertising and no advertising trackers inside the community. We are not in the business of monetizing your attention or your pain. This place is free because it is run by veterans, for veterans.
Not affiliated with the VA
Foxhole Forum is an independent, peer-led community. We are not part of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or any government agency. Nothing you share here is reported to the VA, and nothing here affects your benefits or your record.
Deleting your data
You can ask us to delete your account and your data at any time, for any reason, no questions asked. Email privacy@foxholevets.com from the address on your account and we will wipe it. Posts you made may be removed or anonymized so the conversations others relied on do not collapse.
You must be 18 or older
Foxhole Forum is for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or post. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Foxhole Forum is peer support, not clinical care, and not a crisis service. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, then press 1.
