The « Green » and Digital Business Card

Contacts are saved in the BeCard app. On the other hand, you risk losing all your contacts on the mobile phone. Theft or loss of a laptop, however undesirable these cases are, militates in favor of the use of BeCard

  BeCard implements and complies with the data protection obligations as stipulated in the legislation in force within the EU (GDPR).

Absolutely not. The BeCard Business Model is in no way geared towards this type of use.

The data (contacts) are stored in the database and this data passes through the API (tunnel or flow of data). We work in a completely encrypted way. The API uses the SSL protocol which encrypts data. On the storage side, we set up a server dedicated to your data, highly secure: accessible only by encrypted key, owned by a limited number of people internally. Also, we have monitoring / control processes on our servers, which alert us if something goes wrong. In the specific case of BeCard and the nature of the data saved, we are deploying a higher level of surveillance, concerning intrusion detection. Data backups are also secure and stored according to the same security rules. A GDPR document is kept internally in accordance with the law; It contains the elements relating to the data access and storage processes, and any other element relating to security.

The Back Office is provided by a team based in France that you can contact at any time by email france (AT) becard.app

The subscription inherits the rules of the Apple and Google Play stores, in particular concerning the termination period to be respected, before the end of the current subscription period. The subscription is by default in "auto-renewal" mode, it is therefore necessary to deactivate it manually, in the profile settings, within the store. BeCard communicates with Apple stores and Google Play stores to retrieve this type of information and take action accordingly. The minimum duration of engagement for each of the two Stores is one month.

If you wish to delete your account and its associated data, you will have to request it, via the contact form. Then, we will delete, within 5 days, all the data associated with your account, Once this operation is completed, you will be notified by e-mail

To keep it simple, let's analyze the different parts that make up the BeCard application: :

The database is located on a server in a Green datacenter:


• ISO 50001 - certified since 2015, for its energy management
• Won the SIG "2016 Mégawatt Prize", for cutting its annual electricity usage by 20%.
• Electrical power used to run its datacenters and offices comprises:
• 60% hydro power ("TÜV SÜD EE01"-certified)
• and 40% renewable energy ("Naturemade Star"-certified).
• Target: By 2025, will power all its facilities with electricity from renewable sources ("Naturemade"-certified).

Data exchange
Data exchanges between the application and the database are done (in both directions), via an API, which is also hosted on a server, in the same datacenter cf. previous point. Each data exchange therefore, within BeCard, uses "Green" energy from the data center.

The Application
It was developed in accordance with code standards intended to lighten it and make its execution the least energy-consuming. Also, an "offline" mode allows users to use the application, by setting their phone to airplane mode. Data synchronization will take place once the internet connection is reactivated.

BeCard is a digital business card and an integrated data exchange platform. It has been designed from the user's point of view. It is not limited to offering another way of exchanging contact details – it also allows the user to initiate and prioritise new commercial arrangements.

Character and language recognition features allow extensive cultural and geographic use and eliminate the classic source of errors that pollute contact knowledge bases, manual entry.

BeCard operates and stores its data on the Green Web, thereby greatly reducing the environmental footprint of the business card regime so BeCard is also a Win-Win solution from an environmental point of view. 


BeCard’s response to the global challenge of preserving and improving the environment comes from both the entrepreneur and individual perspectives.

 - The entrepreneur uses BeCard, to dematerialise the exchange of business cards
 - concerned individuals use BeCard to reduce environmental impacts.
