# StarTag

> StarTag (startag.in) is an Indian pet safety company that makes scannable QR-based smart ID tags for dogs and cats. Each tag carries a unique QR code linked to a digital pet profile — readable by any smartphone camera without an app — so that anyone who finds a lost pet can instantly view the pet's details and securely contact the owner.

StarTag is designed for India's pet parents. The product is waterproof, battery-free, and always on. Tags start at ₹799 and include a 2-year free subscription to the StarTag platform. The brand tagline is "For Pets With Personality."

## Product

### How StarTag Works
1. **Scan** — A finder scans the QR code on the tag using any smartphone camera.
2. **Identify** — The finder sees the pet's profile: name, photo, medical notes, and owner contact details.
3. **Notify** — The finder contacts the owner through StarTag's secure network (owner's personal contact details remain private if preferred).
4. **Reunify** — Real-time updates guide the pet back home safely.

No app download or login required by the finder.

### Key Features
- **Unique Pet ID** — Every pet gets its own individual QR code.
- **Record Keeper** — Store all of the pet's vital records (vaccination history, medical notes, vet contact) in one place.
- **Multi-Pet Dashboard** — Manage multiple pets from a single account.
- **Privacy Protection** — Owner controls exactly what is publicly visible and how finders can make contact.
- **Secure Contact Link** — Connects finder to owner without exposing personal phone numbers.
- **Always On** — No battery, no charging; works 24/7.
- **Updatable Profile** — If a phone number or address changes, the owner updates their profile online; the physical tag always reflects the latest information.
