6 minutes readSmart Business Cards are simple to use. You tap your card on a smartphone, a page opens with your details, and the other person saves your contact.
But a fair question sits underneath that simplicity: what actually happens to your information in that moment? Where do your details go, and can other people reach them later, even after you have moved on?
This guide answers that in plain terms, and explains the one thing PIXEL built that no other Smart Business Card has. If you want the wider overview first, start with our complete buyer’s guide to Smart Business Cards in Saudi Arabia.
Quick answer: With most Smart Business Cards, tapping opens a link to your profile, and that link stays alive permanently. In plain terms, your contact details are left sitting online where anyone who gets the link can access them. PIXEL is the first Smart Business Card to close that gap, with a system called Dual Security that makes sure your details can only ever be picked up in the moment of the tap, and never left open online afterward.
The chip inside a Smart Business Card holds one thing: a web link. When a phone taps the card, it reads that link, which for most cards opens your online profile page. The privacy question is not about the chip. It is about that link, and what happens to it after the tap.
With most cards on the market, the link you hand over is permanent. Once someone taps your card, they hold a working link to your profile, and that link does not go away.
That means it sits in their browser history, it can be forwarded to someone else, and it can be screenshotted or shared anywhere. Anyone who ends up with that link can open your profile, whether you meant to share with them or not.
You handed your card to one person. But you did not share your details with one person. You published a permanent page and gave one person the address, and that address can now travel anywhere. Put simply: your contact details are left available online for anyone to access.
And updating does not fix it. When you change your number or your job, that permanent link does not go stale. It refreshes to your new details, so everyone you ever tapped keeps a live window into your current information, forever. A paper card ages and becomes harmless. A permanent-link card never does.
This is the gap that has sat unsolved across the industry. Some cards try to patch it, by hiding the profile behind a PIN, or by routing sharing through a wallet app. But the link is still there, still live, still online. The exposure is covered up, not removed.
PIXEL is the first Smart Business Card to remove the exposure entirely, instead of hiding it. It does this with a system we call Dual Security.
Here is how it works, in plain terms. Instead of one permanent link that lives online, a PIXEL card uses two layers:
Layer one is the permanent address built into your card. It never changes, and it never exposes your details on its own.
Layer two is a fresh, single-use link that layer one generates at the exact moment of the tap. This is the link that actually carries your details, and it works once. The instant it is used, it is gone.
So every tap creates a brand-new link that lives for that one moment and then no longer exists. Reopen it later, forward it, or dig it out of browser history next week, and there is nothing there. There is no permanent page sitting online, because your details were never placed on one.
This is the part no other major Smart Business Card does. Others leave a live link and try to guard it. PIXEL makes sure there is no live link to guard in the first place. Your details exist for the person in front of you, in the moment you chose, and nowhere else.
And your card, of course, keeps working forever. The card is fully reusable. Tap it a thousand times and it works a thousand times, generating a fresh single-use link each time. What expires is each individual link, never the card. Updating still works too: change your details any time, and the next person to tap gets the current version, while the people you tapped in the past keep no live window into your present.
Dual Security is not an add-on or a paid extra. It is built into every PIXEL Smart Business Card by default, and it asks nothing of anyone: no PIN to type, no app to open, no special sharing step. You tap, they save, and nothing is left online.
This is the whole reason PIXEL exists. See how Dual Security works.
Yes. NFC is the same technology behind Apple Pay, Mada contactless payments, and building access cards. It works only at very short range, which is exactly why it is trusted for this kind of exchange. A card also cannot read anything off the phone that taps it; the phone reads the card, not the other way around.
Anyone who ends up with that link. It can sit in browser history, be forwarded, or be shared, and because it points to your live profile, it keeps showing your current details even after you update them. PIXEL Dual Security avoids this entirely: the single-use link created on each tap expires the moment it is used, so there is nothing left online for anyone to reopen.
No. The card is fully reusable and works for as long as you have it. Only the link created on each tap is single-use. Every tap generates a new one, but the card itself keeps working every time.
Other cards leave a permanent link to your profile online, and at most try to hide it behind a PIN or a wallet app. PIXEL Dual Security removes the permanent link altogether. Each tap creates a fresh link that works once and then expires, so your details are never left sitting online in the first place. PIXEL is the first Smart Business Card built this way.
Most Smart Business Cards leave a permanent link to your details online, reachable by anyone who gets it and kept current even after you update it. That is closer to publishing your details than sharing them.
PIXEL is the first to fix it at the root. Dual Security gives every card a permanent address that never exposes you, and a fresh single-use link on each tap that expires the instant it is used. Your details are shared in the moment, with the person in front of you, and never left online, with no PIN, no app, and no extra steps.
