vCard QR code alternative for private contact
Do not share a contact card when a message is enough.
A vCard QR code is made to share contact details. TagTalk is made to let people reach you without receiving those details.
What a vCard QR code does
A vCard QR code lets someone save your name, phone number, email address or other contact information.
Why that can be too public
On a car, mailbox, laptop, device or front desk, you may want to be reachable without letting strangers store your permanent details.
TagTalk as a message layer
With TagTalk, someone scans the QR code and sends a message through a form. Your number and email stay hidden.
Update settings without sharing a new card
You can change notification settings without creating a new vCard or publishing new public contact details.
Why not use a vCard QR code?
Use a vCard when you want someone to save your details. Use TagTalk when you want to be reachable without sharing those details first.
Can someone save my details through TagTalk?
No. The QR code does not directly show your phone number or email address.
Is this useful for public stickers?
Yes. Public stickers are exactly where a private message layer helps reduce unnecessary exposure.
