Read full descriptionHide full description
Your GDC 2026 conference badge, on your iPhone. Global Digital Collaboration is the attendee app for GDC 2026, 1-3 September at Palexpo in Geneva. Claim your badge once from the link in your registration email and it is stored on this phone, ready to show at any door or session reader. WHAT IT DOES - Your badge, on your phone. An ISO/IEC 18013-5 mobile document held on the device, not a screenshot and not a cloud account. - Show it at a reader. The reader scans a code on your screen and your badge is sent only after you approve what is shared. - The conference schedule, with an offline copy so it still opens in a crowded hall. TRY IT WITHOUT AN INVITATION No badge yet? Tap "Preview a sample badge" on the Badge tab. The sample behaves exactly like a real badge, including presenting it to a reader. It is marked SAMPLE, and it will not open a door. PRIVACY Your badge stays on your phone and moves only when you approve a reader's request. There is no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. Full details at https://badge.glide.id/privacy REQUIREMENTS iOS 26 or later. Bluetooth, for sending your badge to a reader after it scans your code. Badges for GDC 2026 are issued by Glide Identity Inc., the event's badge and credential provider.
secuveri NFC

secuveri NFC completes the chip-reading step of an identity verification. When a business asks you to verify your identity with secuveri, you receive a secure link. That link opens this app, which reads the encrypted chip inside your passport or electronic ID card when you hold it against your iPhone. The result returns to the verification you already started, and you're done. READING THE CHIP Modern passports and national ID cards contain a contactless chip holding the same information printed on the document, digitally signed by the issuing country. secuveri reads that chip using your iPhone's NFC reader and verifies the country's signature, confirming the document is authentic and has not been altered. WHAT TO EXPECT ⢠Open the link sent by the business requesting verification ⢠Enter the details from your document's data page ⢠Hold the top of your iPhone against the document and keep still ⢠The chip is read in a few seconds and you return to where you began PRIVACY BY DESIGN ⢠The chip is read on your device over an encrypted channel ⢠Processing takes place in Switzerland ⢠Nothing remains on your phone after the session ends ⢠No account, no sign-up, no advertising, no tracking REQUIREMENTS ⢠iPhone 7 or later, iOS 15.5 or later ⢠A passport, national ID card or residence permit with a contactless chip (look for the chip symbol on the cover or card). ⢠A verification link from a business using secuveri. The app cannot begin a verification on its own. secuveri NFC is operated by secuveri GmbH, Zug, Switzerland.
