Go Premium and Unlock Full Control of Your Smart Connection Profiles
Launching Summer 2025, Yard Cards are smart connection profiles for individuals, teams, and organizations. Yard Cards let you interact with business events and other cards across websites, messaging apps, social media, and email. For example, you can receive notifications about upcoming business events. But, that's not all.
Premium Yard Cards offer extensive customization and integration options, including the ability to capture a double opt-in, make contact data available to 3rd party software, issue cards for employees, manage cards via API, or highlight profiles as verified.
Whether exploring, networking, relationing, collaborating, or staying in touch, Yard Cards help you connect on your terms. Reinvent the way you use your identities.
Why You Should Go Premium
Premium cards come with a lot of customization options and will let you also change the look and feel. Users of Premium Yard Cards can define where to save their data, for example to their preferred CRM system.
Premium Yard Cards let organizations control the issuance of business cards of their employees and manage contact data of associated cards. Business cards will be able to be issued through HR management software, which can be connected to Yard.
If business card holders and company card managers verified their contact data, identities will be marked as verified and thus trustworthy.
LinkedIn Fails Contact Management
LinkedIn is used for sharing updates, but is bad at managing communication connects. In their desperation of having no alternatives, business people often use LinkedIn to share their contact information. This has drawbacks, such as:
- Your company is not having the rights to use contacts generated from your personal LinkedIn profile.
- Your connection is stuck on your LinkedIn profile, you can hardly export it.
- You often don't have a appropriate direct contact data for following up.
- Users on LinkedIn often don't answer if you write to them.
- Your colleagues don't have access to your LinkedIn contacts.
- You get messages from people which you did not give your contact data to.
- You are mixing your personal identity with your work identity.
- Companies relying on LinkedIn as a connection tool risk of losing access to lead data once an employee is leaving their company.
- Anyone can pretend to work for any company.
- ...
Ditch these limitations using Yard Cards.
Risks of Public Contact Sharing
Exposing a digital digital business card on the Internet using a QR code or public link is increasingly popular. But this approach comes with serious privacy risks:
- Anyone with the link or QR code can access—and scrape—your contact details.
- Your personal data can be harvested for spam or unsolicited outreach.
- You have no visibility into who’s using your data—or how.
- There’s no way to verify if the information is genuine or up-to-date.
- Once shared, your direct contact data can’t be retracted or controlled.
- Your identity can be misused by bots or AI tools for impersonation or fraud.
- ...
Public exposure of your contact information is not just inconvenient—it’s risky. In an era of data scraping and AI identity cloning, protecting your privacy isn’t optional.
Yard Cards help you to control your privacy across apps.
