Tagsley Tracking Card

Tagsley Tracking Card Security and Privacy Considerations
In an era of increasing surveillance concerns and data breaches, the privacy implications of tracking technology deserve serious consideration. The Tagsley Tracking Card's integration with Apple's Find My network inherits the robust security and privacy protections that Apple has built into the system, creating a tracking solution that protects your items without compromising your personal data or enabling misuse.
End-to-End Encryption
All location data transmitted through the Find My network uses end-to-end encryption. The location information can only be decrypted by your devices using keys stored in your iCloud Keychain. This means that even Apple cannot access your item locations—only you can see where your Tagsley-equipped items are located. The privacy protection extends to the devices that help locate your items: those iPhones and iPads participating in the Find My network never learn that they've detected your Tagsley, ensuring complete anonymity for all parties.
Anti-Stalking Protections
Apple's Find My network includes sophisticated safeguards against using tracking devices for stalking or unwanted surveillance. If a Tagsley card travels with someone who doesn't own it for an extended period, their iPhone will detect the unknown tracker and alert them to its presence. This prevents the device from being surreptitiously placed in someone's bag or vehicle for tracking without their knowledge. The card will also emit periodic sounds when separated from its owner to make its presence known.
No Independent GPS
Unlike GPS trackers that continuously broadcast location data that could potentially be intercepted, the Tagsley only communicates via Bluetooth with nearby Apple devices. This architecture means there's no GPS signal to hack, no cellular connection to compromise, and no continuous broadcast of your location. The device remains silent until it comes within range of the Find My network, limiting exposure and potential surveillance vectors.
Owner Control
You maintain complete control over your Tagsley's tracking capabilities. Disable tracking temporarily, remove the device from your account entirely, or adjust notification settings—all from your iPhone's Find My app. This granular control means you decide exactly how and when tracking occurs, preventing any functionality you don't explicitly want or need.
These privacy protections make the Tagsley suitable even for security-conscious users who might otherwise avoid tracking technology. The system's design ensures that protecting your belongings doesn't require sacrificing your privacy or creating new surveillance vulnerabilities. For business travellers carrying sensitive documents or individuals concerned about digital privacy, this balance of functionality and protection proves essential.
