Chapter 2 Scantacts - Scan your Contacts

ScanTacts is the digital alternative for the paper business card. It provides a flexible, environmental friendly and quick way to share contact information.

 

2.1 Releases

In August 2016 the app ScanTacts was released which is a digital alternative for the paper business card. The basic version is available in the Google Play Store and App Store for free. A company specific version with extra features can be activated upon request.

The release notes of prior versions can be provided upon request.

 

2.2 Explanation of the application

The user fills in his/her contact information (Name/Phone Number/E-mail/Company/Job title/Website) and generates the personal QR code. To share the contact information one can 'show' the QR code and use the 'scan' functionality to read and save the information directly to his/her phone. Contact information can easily be changed in the generate form.

 

Since the app is not yet widely used, Approved has made sure the QRcode of ScanTacts can be read by most QRcode readers, an application most people have on their phone. The iPhone camera can also read the QRcode. Of course the other person can also download the basic (free) version of the app on the spot and share contact information that way.

For Android we developed the option 'pic&drop', which allows the other person to take a picture of the QR code and, after downloading the app at a more convenient moment, just drop the picture into the app to save the contact information.

 

2.3 Company version

The company specific version comes with extra functionality versus the free version. Activating the company profile will show the app in the colors of the company and show the company logo in the middle of the QRcode; it will also delete the ads that are normally shown in the app. Last but not least it will activate the double profile option. That way employees can also use the app in a private setting.

 

The company code is activated by filling in the company code in the settings of the application. It can also be deactivated in this way.

 

2.4 Privacy

Approved does respect privacy and therefore does not gather the contacts the users enter or save in their phone and does not gather any other personally-identifying information. Approved does gather general information about the usage of the app where possible and the number of times a company code is activated per device.

 

2.5 Liability

Approved accepts no liability for loss due to the use of ScanTacts, see also article 1.3.

 

Approved accepts no liability for misuse of the company code (for example, but not limited to, in case the company code is used by someone outside the company). Approved never shares the company codes with anyone but the contact person of the relevant company.

 

Users are responsible for correctly saving and maintaining their contacts. Approved does not gather this information and can therefore provide no contacts when these are lost. When using the pic&drop option, users are responsible for taking a picture of enough quality such that ScanTacts is able to read the picture.

 

2.6 Availability

The app is available for Android and iOS.

 

2.7 Payment

The application is available for free in the app store/play store. This version includes ads.

A company specific version requires are contract signed by both parties. It consist of a demo period after which Approved and Client decide upon a yearly license.

As it is beneficial for both parties if more companies introduce ScanTacts as their digital business cards, Approved rewards its clients by giving 5% of their licenses for free for the period of a year for each new client they introduce. This reduction will be settled on the invoice for the next year. It case the client introduces more than 20 clients, Approved will settle the reduction on the invoice of the years afterwards.

 

2.8 End of the Contract

The Contract will be automatically renewed each year. Client can decide to stop the Contract at any time, after which the company version will be deactivated after the year has ended. Approved does not return the license fee of that year.
