FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions before using ComeBackTo.me.

What does the person scanning my QRCode see?

They only see the file you activated: the Contact File to return a lost item, or the Emergency File to help someone in distress. Nothing else is visible.

Is an app required to scan?

No. The QRCode opens directly in the phone, tablet or computer browser. No installation required.

Can I activate or deactivate my files at any time?

Yes. From your profile, each file can be toggled on or off with one click. An inactive file is not publicly shown — the scanner sees nothing.

What is the emergency PIN for?

The PIN adds a simple access barrier before displaying the Emergency File. It protects you from unwanted curiosity while remaining accessible in a real emergency.

What happens if I lose an item with a QRCode?

If the Contact File is active, the person who finds the item can scan the QRCode and contact you directly using the information you chose to share.

Are my medical details secure?

Yes. Your data is stored securely and never shared with third parties. Only the information you choose to display in your Emergency File is accessible to the scanner.

Does ComeBackTo.me replace emergency services?

No. ComeBackTo.me makes useful information easier to access for rescuers or loved ones, but never replaces emergency services (911, 112, etc.) or professional medical advice.

How does login work?

We use a magic-link / OTP system via email. No password to remember: enter your email address and receive a one-time code to sign in.
