How your info is used
What happens to the details you share on a Cardinal card.
If you typed your name, email, phone, or a note into a Cardinal card’s “Share your details” form, this page explains, in plain language, what that did.
Who’s responsible for it
The organization whose card you were viewing — not Cardinal — is responsible for what it does with your details. Cardinal is the software the organization uses to store and act on them; it doesn’t sell or share them, and it doesn’t decide what the organization does with what you send. Any question, correction, or removal request goes to that organization, the same way it would if you’d handed them a paper business card.
What’s collected, and why
Only what you actually type in: your name, and whichever of email, phone, company, or note you choose to fill in — nothing is read off your device. It’s used to share your details with the person whose card you viewed, so they have a record of meeting you. If you separately check a box to allow follow-up, it’s also used for that — by email, or by text if you checked a second, text-specific box (texting always carries its own message-frequency and rates disclosure, and is never assumed from the email checkbox). You can leave either box unchecked and still send your details.
How long it’s kept
Your details are kept until the organization deletes them or you ask them to. There is no automatic expiry for contact details the way there is for a recorded conversation (see recording & consent, which is a separate 90-day-default window for a different kind of data).
Asking to see, correct, or delete it
Ask the organization directly — they hold the record and can look up, correct, or permanently erase what you sent, including any text or email follow-up consent, at any time. If you no longer have their contact info, the person whose card you filled this out for is the fastest way back to them.
