Scan-based recovery
A QR/NFC tag opens the current item status and only the contact options approved by its owner.
FindVaultScan a tagAnyone can list a lost or found item without creating an account. FindVault uses the photo, category, brand, colour, date and broad area to surface possible matches while private contact details stay protected. Use it for keys, bags, documents, devices, vehicles, pets, school items and event safety bands.
The scan route is fastest for registered items. The public board helps when no FindVault tag is present or when the community needs a searchable post.
A QR/NFC tag opens the current item status and only the contact options approved by its owner.
Publish a lost or found listing without login; the photo, brand, colour, date and broad area improve search and matching.
Compare item type, area and description to surface useful candidate reports without claiming an automatic identity match.
Use a report or chat flow when the owner has chosen to keep their phone number hidden.
A finder can optionally share precise location inside a private recovery case; it is never silently tracked.
The finder keeps a six-digit code and the owner confirms it only after physical return of the item.
Create an asset record, attach a unique tag and set the recovery privacy mode while the item is still with you.
Open the lost flow, add a clear title, category, general area, approximate date and safe description, then publish. Linked-tag owners can also enable Lost Mode.
Scan the code or enter the Tag ID. Follow the owner-approved direct contact or private report shown on the public scan page.
Only if you explicitly enable a direct-contact protection mode. Private Recovery keeps it hidden and routes finders through a report.
Meet in a public place or help desk, verify identifying information without exposing sensitive numbers, and use the finder-held code after physical return when available.
