Who Sees Emergency Information?

Anyone who scans your emergency card QR code can see the information you've added. This is intentional — in emergencies, speed saves lives.

Visible to Scanners

  • Medical information you've entered
  • Emergency contacts (with call buttons)
  • Notes for first responders
  • Your display name

Always Private

  • Your ID password
  • Your email address
  • Your other items or pets
  • Your account settings

Why Public Access?

Emergency cards need to work when:

  • You're unconscious
  • You can't unlock your phone
  • Responders don't have special equipment
  • Time is critical

Only Share What You're Comfortable With

Add only information you'd want a stranger to see in an emergency. You can update or remove details anytime.
