Myth #1: "Sharing My Card Details Can Be Intercepted by Strangers"
Fact: You control exactly when and how your card is shared — by showing a QR code, sending a link, or opening a wallet pass. There's no wireless broadcasting happening in the background; nothing goes out unless you actively share it.Myth #2: "A Digital Business Card Shares All My Personal Data With Anyone Nearby"
Fact: Online Business Cards profiles only become visible to someone you've actually shared the link or QR code with. Your data lives on a secure, password-protected server, not scattered across the airwaves.Myth #3: "QR Codes and Links Aren't Safe for Serious Business Use"
Fact: Every profile link is served over HTTPS — the same encryption standard used for online banking and contactless payments through Apple Pay and Google Wallet.Myth #4: "Someone Could Copy My Card Without Me Knowing"
Fact: Because your card is a link to a profile you own and control, no one else can duplicate or hijack it. You can change your password, update your content, or revoke access at any time.Myth #5: "Digital Business Cards Can Spread Malware"
Fact: A QR code or link only points to your hosted profile page. It cannot execute code, install software, or access anything else on the recipient's phone.The Bottom Line
