What is public and what is private

The short answer

Your public rescue page shows only the fields you filled in, and nothing else. Everything is optional. Anything you leave empty simply does not appear, and anything you delete disappears from the next scan.

Nothing about your account — the address you sign in with, your password, your orders, your dashboard — is part of that page.

What a scan can show

Only what you published, from this list:

• the display name you chose;
• blood type;
• allergies, conditions and current medication;
• organ donor and blood donor status, when you switch them on;
• emergency contacts, each with a tap-to-call button;
• a linked vehicle — type, make, model, year, plate — if you added one;
• a free-text message, for example a lost-item note.

What never appears

• your sign-in e-mail address;
• your password or any sign-in detail;
• your account identity — the page uses a random public ID instead;
• your orders, documents, settings and anything else behind your login;
• every field you left empty or removed.

Because the address is a random public ID and not derived from your account, a stranger cannot guess someone else's page from yours.

What scanning does not do

Scanning an AutoAide QR/NFC sticker does not automatically contact emergency services. It opens a page. Calling for help is a human decision, and it should always come first.

A scan also does not unlock your account, does not reveal your location history, and does not let the person scanning edit anything.

How to review what you publish

• Open your own rescue page from a phone that is not signed in, and read it as a stranger would.
• Remove anything that would not change a decision in the first ten minutes.
• Check that each published phone number is one that actually gets answered.
• Repeat after any change of number, treatment or vehicle, and at least twice a year.

Editing your profile changes what a future scan shows — the sticker keeps pointing at the same address, so nothing has to be reprinted.

Why publishing a little is still useful

• A relative can be reached within a minute, before you arrive at hospital.
• An allergy or a treatment can be passed on to responders by whoever is with you.
• A vehicle can be identified without paperwork.
• A lost helmet, bag or bike can be returned without exposing your identity.
