Privacy Policy

Tapcard is operated by Tertiary Infotech Academy Pte Ltd(UEN 201200696W), Singapore. We handle personal data in line with Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). You can reach us at support@tertiaryinfotech.com.

• Account information — your name, email address, and a securely hashed password if you choose to set one. You can also sign in with Apple, Google or a one-time code sent to your email, in which case no password is stored.
• Card content — the details you add to your digital card, such as job title, company, phone, email, website, social links, and any photos or logos you upload.
• Contacts & leads — details of other people that you save: business cards you scan, QR codes you scan, contacts you type in, and leads captured when someone shares their information through your card. These can include a name, job title, company, email, phone and WhatsApp numbers, address, website and your own notes.
• Planner — tasks, reminders and appointments you create.
• Preferences — settings such as your default dialling code, what your QR code opens, and your WhatsApp contact link.
• Usage & analytics— events such as card views, QR scans, taps and contact downloads, with the visitor’s browser type and referring page, used to show you how your cards perform. We do not record visitors’ IP addresses with these events.
• Device information — basic technical data (such as device type and app version) needed to operate and secure the service.

This is the same summary as the App Privacy section of our App Store listing. All of it is linked to your account, used only to run Tapcard for you, and never used to track you.

We do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites, we show no ads, and we do not sell or share your data with data brokers.

• Card scanning — when you scan a paper business card, the camera image is read on your phone (text recognition and, where available, Apple Intelligence). The photo itself is not uploaded; only the details you review and save are sent to your account.
• Apple Intelligence images — banners and profile photos created with Image Playground are generated on your iPhone. A picture you choose to use is stored with your card like any photo you upload.
• Face ID — the optional Face ID lock is handled by iOS. We never receive your face data.
• Camera & photos — the apps ask for camera or photo access only to scan cards and QR codes or to pick a photo for your card, and use it only when you do so.

When you save someone’s business card or details to Contacts, you are responsible for having a reason to keep them, such as a business introduction. We store those contacts only for you, use them only to provide the service to you, and never sell them or use them to contact the people concerned. If your details were saved by a Tapcard user and you want them removed, email us and we will help.

• To create, sync, and display your digital cards across your devices and the web.
• To let you share your card and to capture leads you choose to collect.
• To provide analytics on how your cards are performing.
• To secure your account, prevent abuse, and provide customer support.
• To improve and develop new features.

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these limited cases:

• When you share your card — a card you publish is publicly viewable by anyone you send its link or QR code to.
• Service providers — trusted vendors (such as hosting, database and email-delivery providers) that process data on our behalf under confidentiality obligations.
• AI features — when you use an AI feature on the website or in the apps, such as writing your bio or summarising a lead, the text it needs is sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, to produce the result. Card scanning and Apple Intelligence features run on your device and are not sent.
• Sign-in providers — if you sign in with Apple or Google, they confirm your identity to us under their own privacy policies.
• Legal reasons — when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Tapcard and its users.

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete account in the app. Deleting your account removes your cards and their analytics, your contacts, leads, deals, tasks and appointments, and your sign-in links, and anonymizes your account so it can no longer be signed into. Server backups are overwritten on a rolling basis. To ask for deletion another way, email us.

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encrypted transport (HTTPS), hashed passwords, short-lived single-use login codes, and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work continuously to protect your information.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information. You can manage most of this directly in the app, or contact us for help with any request.

Tapcard is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, email support@tertiaryinfotech.com or visit our Help & Support page.
