Core Privacy Principles
Emergency-Safe Access
Public-safe details can be shown quickly, while more sensitive medical, guardian, or identity information remains protected until approved or securely unlocked.
Privacy-Preserving Contact Relay
For pets, items, vehicles, and bicycles, QAAR can help connect finders, owners, families, or support teams without exposing unnecessary personal details.
Protected Data Layers
Different data categories can follow different access rules, allowing public-safe fields, protected fields, incident records, and audit events to be handled with appropriate controls.
Traceable Governance
Support actions, relay events, evidence, and incident updates can be logged for accountability, operational review, and organization-level oversight.
Privacy & Visibility Matrix
| Type | Category | Sensitivity | Visibility | Typical Control |

| 2 | Animal | Moderate | Public-safe with protected owner details | Secure relay and controlled owner contact |
| 3 | Object | Variable | Public-safe with protected claim details | Return workflow and controlled claim verification |
| 4 | Automobile | Moderate | Public-safe with protected ownership details | Contact relay, verification, and incident workflow |
| 5 | Bicycle | Moderate | Public-safe with protected recovery details | Recovery support, anti-theft verification, and relay |
Traceable Accountability
QAAR is designed so that key interactions such as scans, relay actions, support responses, evidence, and incident updates can be logged for review, accountability, and organization-level oversight.
