How ReFound works
ReFound brokers contact between a finder and an owner without either side losing their privacy. Here is the full path, end to end.
- 1Owner
Sign up and register an item. Pick a safe public label and choose what a finder may see.
- 2System
We mint a unique, unguessable code and produce a QR tag containing only a link.
- 3Owner
Attach the tag — pet collar, ID card, windshield, luggage, keyring.
- 4Finder
Scans the tag and lands on a safe page scoped to that item type.
- 5Finder
Sends a message, shares where they found it, or requests a call — never seeing your details.
- 6Owner
Gets an alert with the safe details and a map link if shared. Reconnect and recover.
What a finder never sees
- Your phone number or email
- Your home or work address
- A child's full name, grade, or guardian contact
- Anything you didn't explicitly choose to share
