Feel safe when your property and contact code gets lost: If someone finds an item your lost, or a SeQR code you have left for others to find, such as on your doorbell, they will not have any personal information about you that could compromise your privacy or security
Others can contact you to assist: Finders of your lost item, or at your front door delivering a package can scan your code to send you helpful messages and also keep their personal information safe, increasing the chance they will be willing to reach out.
BOTTON: GET YOUR SEQR CODE
How you can use SeQR for free today:
Sign up for a free SeQR account: Head to app.seqrcontact.com to sign up. Your account is free and comes with a free digital SeQR Contact Code
Show your free digital contact code as a QR code or link: You can show others your contact code from your device, print it out, or share it as a link to allow others to get in contact with you. This can be useful when meeting new people that you aren’t quite ready to share private information with like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace meetups, or meeting new people on Tinder.
Exchange messages without sharing personal information: When someone scans your code or uses your link to start a conversation, you can exchange messages without sharing personal information for as long as you like. If the conversation is no longer needed you can make it as completed and no more messages can be exchanged.
By using a SeQR Contact Code label or tag instead of a phone number, you will be able to protect your privacy and enhance your security.
SeQR won’t replace your phone number, but it should whenever you think theres any risk when sharing your phone number
While freely giving out your cell phone number might lead to various risks, SeQR Contact Codes step in as a solution to enhance your privacy and safeguard your personal information. By using these codes instead of revealing your actual phone number, especially when you want people to reach you without giving away all your direct contact details, you take back control over your privacy.
This clever approach not only helps you regain authority over your personal data but also your property. We’ve all found a lost item with no contact information that would allow us to return it to the owner. Don’t let that be your wallet, keys, phone, or anything you can’t live without. SeQR allows you to get help without compromising your confidentiality.
In today's fast-changing digital world, it's crucial to adapt and adopt new tools that can improve your online experience. These tools should prioritize your well-being and peace of mind. So, it's time to say goodbye to the era of thoughtlessly sharing your phone number with unfamiliar sources. Instead, embrace a new era where your connections are safer and more secure.
