Profile Types Explained

Your emergency profile.
Your privacy.

ScubaID gives you the right level of visibility for every situation — full medical info for adults, obfuscated identity for children, locked-down minimal info for travel.

Three profile types

One for adults, two for children. Pick the right QR for the situation.

Adult — Standard

Full name, photo, medical info, contacts. Visible to anyone who scans.

Child — Safe

Initial + surname, no photo, age range. Allergies and meds shown to help responders.

Child — Holiday

Initial only, no medical, hotel info shown. Optimised for travel and "lost child" scenarios.

For adults

Standard profile

One QR code. Full information for first responders. Best for adults who want to be fully identifiable in an emergency.

Full name & photo

Responders identify you immediately.

Medical information

Blood type, allergies, medications, conditions — all visible.

Emergency contacts

Full name, relationship, and phone. One-tap to call.

PIN-locked details

Sensitive fields (passport, conditions) can be hidden behind a PIN you give responders.

Scenario

On a dive boat

You surface short of breath. The dive master scans your tag and sees your asthma history, current inhaler, and your spouse's number — within five seconds.

For children

Two QR codes. Two purposes.

When you create a child profile, ScubaID generates both the Safe and Holiday QR codes together. Use the right one for the situation — and switch easily before you travel.

A finder gets just enough to reunite child & parent — nothing more.

Scenario

Your child wanders off in a foreign airport. A stranger finds them, scans the tag, sees "Hotel Marina, Heraklion" and your phone number. They make the call — your child is back with you before security gets involved.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my child get two QR codes instead of one?
Children's privacy needs vary by situation. The Safe QR is for everyday wear — responders see allergies and medications so they can help. The Holiday QR locks down all medical info and shows the hotel + your phone number, so a stranger can return your lost child without learning anything personal about them. Both are generated automatically when you create a child profile.
Can a stranger find my child's name by scanning the tag?
On the Safe QR, they see only an initial and surname (e.g. "S. Johnson"). On the Holiday QR, they see only the first initial (e.g. "S."). The full name is never returned by our servers for child profiles — this is enforced at the database level and verified by an automated test after every release.
Will the QR work without internet?
The QR itself just contains a URL. The phone scanning it needs internet to load the profile page. We're working on a downloadable PDF backup that can be printed and tucked into a bag for offline use.
Can I change my mind and update privacy settings later?
Yes — privacy settings can be changed any time from your account, and updates take effect immediately on every scan from that point on. You can also toggle individual fields between public, PIN-protected, and private.
What if my child loses their tag?
Deactivate the tag from your dashboard. Anyone who scans a deactivated tag sees a generic "Profile not found" page — no information is exposed.
Is ScubaID GDPR compliant?
Yes. We follow data minimisation principles, your data is stored encrypted in the EU, you can export or delete everything from your account settings, and we never sell or share data with third parties for marketing.
Can I use both QRs on the same tag?
No — each QR is a distinct URL. We recommend printing the Safe QR onto your child's everyday tag, and the Holiday QR onto a separate travel-only tag (often a wristband or luggage tag). Both can be re-printed from your dashboard at any time.
Who can see the medical info behind the PIN?
Only people you give the PIN to. Most parents share it with carers, teachers, and family. Responders typically don't need the PIN — public info is enough for them to make safe decisions and call you.
