What information should you NOT put on an NFC business card?
Avoid putting your home address, personal financial information, passwords, social security numbers, or overly personal details on your NFC card profile. Your profile is a publicly accessible web page — treat it the same way you'd treat any public social media profile.
Your profile is a public URL
This is the most important principle: your NFC card profile is a webpage that anyone with the URL can view. It's not password-protected (for business card purposes). Anything you put on it should be something you're comfortable sharing with anyone who taps your card — and anyone who finds or receives your profile URL through any channel.
Information to leave off
Home address — use your office/company address if relevant. Personal phone numbers you don't want clients calling. Personal email if you prefer to keep business and personal separate. Birth date, age, or other personally identifying demographic information. Anything you wouldn't put on a public LinkedIn profile. Financial information of any kind.
Lead forms: a special consideration
If you include a lead capture form on your profile, the data collected through it goes to your platform's servers. Only collect what you'll actually use, disclose your privacy practices clearly, and choose a platform that handles form data responsibly.
Can I make part of my profile private?
Some platforms offer private profile sections accessible only via a PIN or login. Most standard NFC business card profiles are fully public.
Should I put my home address on a business card?
Generally no — even on paper cards. Use your business address or omit it entirely.
Is it safe to put my cell number on an NFC card?
If you give your cell number to business contacts generally, yes. If it's a private number you don't share freely, don't include it.
