NFC Hats

Connect a physical touchpoint to a digital workflow.

Use supported NFC cards, tags or badges to open a City of Hats experience. A tap can give visitors a clear entry point or add a possession requirement to supported file viewing.

No phone number or email required for core Hat use.

The useful difference

A clearer way to handle sensitive work.

01

Tap to enter

A configured NFC touchpoint can open a branded browser experience.

02

Match the setting

Choose a suitable card, tag or badge for a desk, room, event or staff workflow.

03

Hat Tap to Unlock

For supported content, require the recipient to tap their NFC Hat before viewing.

How it works

Three deliberate steps.

01

Define the destination

Choose the experience or supported workflow the tap should open.

02

Configure and test

Confirm the hardware, permissions and behavior on the devices you expect visitors to use.

03

Deploy with clear instructions

Label the touchpoint and provide an alternative route when NFC is unavailable.

Know the boundary

Choose controls with clear expectations.

NFC support and security vary by device, tag and workflow. A tap does not automatically prove someone’s identity. Confirm enrollment and possession-factor requirements before using it for sensitive access.

Review the security evidence

Questions, answered

Before you get started.

Where can I use NFC Hats?

Open City of Hats to review the controls available for your client, content and plan. The app shows applicable requirements before you proceed.

What should I check before sharing sensitive information?

Verify the recipient, use a supported device and choose appropriate access and retention rules. Review the Security Evidence Center for boundaries and evidence status.

City of Hats is free to use. Feature availability and limits vary by plan and client. Premium is optional; review current limits in the app or on the plans page.
