Privacy is at the core of QrioTag. When someone scans your tag, they never see your name, address, or phone number. Here is how.

AES-256-GCM Encrypted Tag IDs

Every QR code contains an encrypted tag ID — not your profile data. The encryption uses AES-256-GCM, the same standard used by banks and governments. Without the decryption key (stored only on our servers), the QR code is meaningless to anyone who tries to read it directly.

HMAC Signatures

Each tag ID is also signed with an HMAC-SHA256 signature. This prevents anyone from forging a fake tag ID to access someone else's profile.

Anonymous Relay Messaging

When a finder wants to contact you, they type a message in our web app. We relay it to you by email or SMS — the finder never sees your contact details. You choose whether to respond, share your location, or stay anonymous.

What Finders See

When someone scans your tag, they see only what you've chosen to make public: a return reward message, a first name, and a contact button. Nothing else.

What We Don't Store

We never log the GPS location of scans. We don't sell your data. We don't show ads. QrioTag's business model is selling physical tags — your data is not the product.
