Myth #1: "NFC Can Be Easily Hacked"
Fact: NFC has a maximum range of ~4 cm. An attacker would need to physically stand next to you and hold a reader against your card. For comparison, Bluetooth operates at 30+ meters.Myth #2: "NFC Shares Your Personal Data"
Fact: Lets Connect NFC cards store only a secure URL — not your name, phone number, or any personal information. Your data lives on a password-protected server.Myth #3: "NFC Is Unsafe for Payments"
Fact: NFC payments use tokenization and encryption. Every contactless payment you've made with Apple Pay or Google Wallet uses the same NFC technology.Myth #4: "Someone Can Read Your Card Without You Knowing"
Fact: The ultra-short range (< 4 cm) makes accidental reads virtually impossible. On iPhones, the phone must be awake and unlocked.Myth #5: "NFC Cards Can Spread Malware"
Fact: NFC chips in business cards contain only a URL. They cannot execute code, install software, or access your phone's data.The Bottom Line
NFC is inherently safe by design. Short range, user-initiated, no personal data stored, and encrypted connections. It's the same technology trusted by every major bank in the world.
