Privacy-first

Choose what each person sees. A card for each side of you.

Run a separate profile for each audience — each with its own card, QR and link. Share the public one with anyone, the work one with clients, and keep the private one for a password-locked link. You share only what you want; no-one sees everything by default.

A card for every audience

A separate card for each side of you

Make a profile for each audience and share the right card with the right people — change your mind any time.

Public card

Name, business, public number or website — the card you hand to anyone. What you’d put on a poster.

Work card

Email, WhatsApp, a quote or booking link — a separate profile you share with clients and leads.

Private card

Home address, mobile, next-of-kin — a profile you only hand out as a password-locked, expiring link.

Why it works

What that buys you

  • No social media required to look professional
  • Retire, disable or redirect any card any time — no reprints
  • Disable or redirect a lost card in seconds
  • Delete your profile and personal data on request — our Privacy Policy lists the few legally required records we keep
  • UK-built and supported by Towpath Digital Ltd

A business card is a broadcast

The trouble with a printed card is that it says the same thing to everybody. The person doing the quote, the person at the networking evening, the person who asked for your number in a car park because they reversed into you: all three get the identical set of details, because there is only ever one card in your pocket.

For most people most of the time that is fine. It stops being fine when your mobile is also your home number, when you work from where you live, or when the reason somebody wants your details is not entirely friendly.

You cannot un-hand-over a card. Once it is gone, it is gone, and the only control you have is the decision you made at the printers a year ago.

One account, several versions of you

Run more than one profile and each gets its own card, its own QR and its own link. What goes on each is your decision, and it does not have to be consistent.

The public one is the poster version: name, business, a number you are happy for anybody to have. The work one carries the things a client needs, a booking link or a quote form. The private one is for people you actually know and can be handed out as a password-locked link that expires, so it is not something that sits on somebody’s phone forever.

Nobody gets everything by default, which is the reverse of how a paper card works. More on how the controls work →

You can take it back

This is the part a printed card cannot do at all. Lose a card, or give one to somebody you would rather had not got it, and you can disable it from your dashboard. The card still exists; it just stops opening anything.

Or point it somewhere else. The same physical card can be redirected at a different profile in seconds, which means a card that carried your mobile can be made to carry an office line instead, without anybody handing it back.

None of that requires a reprint, because the details were never on the card in the first place.

What happens to the person who scans it

They open a web page and nothing follows them away from it. No cookies are set on your visitors, no profile of them is built and nothing about them is sold. What you get is a count of views and taps on your own card, and the details of anybody who actively chose to send theirs back.

That distinction matters and is worth stating plainly: somebody who only looked stays anonymous to you. That is the design, not a gap in it.

Professional without a social account

A lot of people are told that looking credible online means having a LinkedIn profile, which means having an account with a company whose business is knowing about you. A live profile with your own link does that job without the account: somewhere real to send people that you control, that shows what you choose and nothing else.

Your data, and getting it out

Everything you hold - profile, cards, leads and orders - downloads as a single JSON file from your dashboard, at any time, on the free plan. Getting your data out is not the paid feature; the paid feature is getting it out in somebody else’s format, like CSV for a spreadsheet or vCard for a phone.

You can delete your public profile and your account data whenever you like. A small number of records are kept for the periods the law requires, and the Privacy Policy lists exactly which and for how long rather than saying “as required” and leaving it there.

It is built and run in the UK by a UK company, registered with the ICO, and there is no subscription to cancel if you decide to stop. More on how we handle data →

Common questions about privacy

Does the person scanning my card get tracked?

No. No cookies are set on them, no profile of them is built and nothing about them is sold. You see counts on your own card, and the details of anybody who chose to send theirs back.

Can I stop a card working?

Yes. Disable it from your dashboard and it stops opening anything, or point it at a different profile so it opens something else instead. Neither needs a reprint.

How many profiles can I have?

More than one, each with its own card, QR and link, on a free account. That is the mechanism the whole page is about, so it is not held behind a paid tier.

What is a password-locked link?

A profile you share deliberately rather than publicly: it asks for a password and can be set to expire, so a private profile is not something that lives on a stranger’s phone indefinitely.

Do I need a social media account?

No. A live profile with your own link is somewhere credible to send people that does not require an account with anybody else.

Can I get my data out, and can I delete it?

Both, and the first is free: everything downloads as one JSON file from the dashboard on the free plan. Deletion removes your public profile and your account data; the Privacy Policy names the few records the law makes us keep and for how long.

A printed option, on your terms

The same per-field privacy applies to whatever carries the code.
