Lost-and-found QR code without sharing your number
Reachable to finders, private by design.
A QR code on keys, bags, laptops or equipment can help honest finders reach you without publishing your private details.
Lost items without a public number
A lost-and-found QR code lets a finder contact you through a form, without your phone number or email address being printed on the item.
