ICE — In Case of Emergency

ICE contacts and medical basics give strangers, paramedics, and bystanders a fast path to help when you cannot speak for yourself.

What belongs on an ICE profile?

  • Full name (optional on public tag — contacts matter most)
  • Blood type if known
  • Severe allergies (medications, foods, latex)
  • Current medications that affect emergency care
  • At least one ICE contact with international-format phone (+country code)
  • Known conditions (diabetes, epilepsy, heart disease, etc.)

For first responders & bystanders

  • Look for ICE on phones, wallets, helmets, and medical bracelets.
  • Scan the QR with the default camera app — no special app required.
  • If the QR fails, ask for Tag ID + PIN at privotag.com/access.
  • Call the primary ICE number before searching unlocked phones when possible.
  • Use blood type and allergy info before administering drugs or fluids.

Why a QR tag?

Paper cards go out of date. Phone lock screens are not always accessible. A Privotag tag links to a profile you control — update allergies online, regenerate an offline QR for areas without signal, and get emailed when someone scans your tag.

Medical disclaimer

Privotag is not a medical device. In any emergency, contact local emergency services (112, 911, 999, or your regional number) immediately.
