* **Only ask a user to provide information if it benefits the user experience.** You should only ask a user for their race or ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity if you can clearly explain how providing this information will benefit the user (not the VA) and the question is related to the larger action they are trying to perform.
* **Only collect data when you can reinforce trust, transparency, and user choice.** You must clarify their information will not be used for their medical treatment or benefits determinations and demonstrate how a user can change their race or ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity and related privacy preferences in the VA.gov profile. If a user does not have and is not eligible to create a VA.gov profile, such as an unauthenticated users, then the data is not collected.

**Note:** Many forms are based off of paper forms with limited fields for gender. Work with your stakeholder to expand the fields.
