Before you approve someone
- Confirm the person is who they say. Reach them another way than the form: a mutual contact, your school's veterans group, or a LinkedIn profile with real history.
- Confirm the Ivy connection and the service in general terms. A conversation is enough.
- Never ask for a DD-214, service records, or details of where or how they served.
If you can't confirm someone, leave the application for another reviewer. If you know an applicant, select "I know this person" even if you can't decide the application yourself.

How to reach you
Who can see each one. "My branch" means members who served in the same branch.
Emails
Invite a veteran you know
Each link works once, for one person. Your name is shown to them and to reviewers as the person who vouched. Send it directly, never in a group chat or public post. You can revoke an unused link any time.

The plain version
Who runs this
Ivy Veterans is independent and member-run. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or run by the Ivy League or any university. Questions? You can reach out to .
What we store
Your sign-in email, and what you enter in your request and profile: your name, school, whether you're an alum or student, degree or program, class year, service status and branch, and anything optional you add. Optional details include years served, a short description of service, city, role, organization, field, introduction, "Ask me about," what you're open to, phone, LinkedIn, contact preferences, a photo, and a note for your reviewer. We also keep who invited or vouched for you, who reviewed your request, and when.
We never ask for a DD-214 or other service records, service numbers, deployment locations, units, clearance information, medical history, discharge details, or your street address, and you shouldn't enter them.
Who can see it
- Visitors who aren't signed in can't see any member. The home page shows a total member count only once the network is large enough that the number can't identify anyone.
- Approved members see your profile. Your email, phone, and LinkedIn each follow their own setting: every member, members from your school, members from your branch, or nobody. Your service details follow your display choice. Your map pin follows your map setting.
- While your request is open, approved members see your name, school, program, class year, branch, city, and role, so someone who knows you can confirm it. Only people allowed to decide your request see your email, LinkedIn, service description, and reviewer note.
- Organizers can see every member's full record, including sign-in email, so they can run reviews and handle removals.
These rules are enforced by the database, not just hidden on the page.
Your location
When you enter a city, your browser sends that city name to OpenStreetMap's public lookup service to get approximate coordinates. We store them rounded to about a kilometer, which puts the pin in the middle of your city. You can turn off the map pin and still list your city, or leave the city blank. Viewing the map loads map images from OpenStreetMap's servers.
Photos
You can add a photo to your profile if you'd like. It's optional, and you can remove it any time.
You'll get sign-in codes when you ask for them, and messages about your own request. If you can review applications, you'll get a notice when one is waiting, which you can turn off. Organizers may send occasional announcements, which you can also turn off. No marketing.
Cookies and tracking
The site stores your sign-in session in your browser, and holds an invitation code there while you sign in. There are no analytics, ad trackers, or tracking pixels. Fonts load from Google Fonts and code libraries from jsDelivr, so those services receive your IP address when the page loads.
Who we share it with
Nobody outside the network. Your information is not sold, rented, or given to schools, recruiters, employers, sponsors, or advertisers. The site runs on ordinary service providers that store and process it on our behalf: Netlify hosts the site, Supabase holds the database, sign-in, and photos, and an email delivery service sends messages.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account yourself, below, at any time, whether or not you've been approved. It immediately removes your profile, photo, posts, comments, RSVPs, invitations, and vouches, and your sign-in. Replies other members left on your posts go with them. Routine database backups may hold a copy for a short time before they expire.
