BackCode for businesses: securely mark company keys & get them back faster

BackCode

Benefits at a glance

  • GDPR-compliant: No personal data on the key ring
  • Always ready for use: No battery, no app, no tracking
  • Quick internal identification: Each code is assigned an internal label (e.g. “HQ | Main Entrance”)
  • Lower costs & less effort: More returns, fewer replacements and emergency openings
  • Durable labelling: Dog tag (anodised aluminium) or label (smudge-proof and waterproof)

How BackCode works

  1. Create BackCode: Create one code per key in the company account.
  2. Assign an internal title: A unique description for your team (e.g. “Building A | Server room”).
  3. Labelling: Attach the QR dog tag or label to the key.
  4. If lost: Finders scan or enter the code → contact you anonymously → you coordinate the handover.

Why there should be no visible information on the key

A lost key must not reveal any information about buildings, rooms, areas or owners. Any information on the tag increases the risk of burglary, theft or social engineering.

Risks & alternatives

Risks posed by labelled keys

  • Targeted crimes: Addresses or terms such as ‘server room’ or ‘safe’ turn the found key into a tool for burglary.
  • Social engineering: Names or department names make it easier for fraudsters to make contact.
  • Link to an address: Key + address = an invitation – particularly critical in the case of master keys.
  • Compliance & data protection: Names, private telephone numbers or email addresses on keys are unnecessary and contravene the principle of data minimisation.
  • Insurance & liability: Visible associations may raise questions regarding due diligence in the event of a claim.

Secure alternative: BackCode

  • Anonymous return: QR code → backcode.de → message, without location or purpose details.
  • Internal identification: Internal labels appear only in the dashboard – externally, the key remains neutral.
  • Flexible & reusable: If the key’s purpose changes, amend the label in the dashboard – the code/tag remains the same.
