What’s a Tag?

When you join WhosMyOwner, you get a unique, personal “tag”, which is a short sequence of letters and digits, like “AP14X”.

You keep the same tag for as long as you’re a member.  Its purpose is to let anyone who wants to get a message to you (to return something you’ve lost) do so without knowing your name, or any personal details.

Unlike key replacement services, we don’t provide you with physical tags – just these characters.  You can use your tag on printed or hand-written labels, get it engraved on your tablet or your dog’s collar.  You can use it on as many different items as you like.

To get a message to you, all someone needs is your tag.  We keep everything else private – your name, email address and phone number are securely held by us, and not shared with anyone else.
