Why do I have duplicate information on my VKARD profile ?
Sometimes certain information appears twice on your VKARD, such as a phone number or an email address. No worries! This happens because of how the data management system works within your VKARD profile.
🔍 Understanding the structure of a VKARD profile
Your VKARD is a combination of two distinct data sources:
- Your personal profile (user)
- Your company profile (organization or entity)
When someone scans your VKARD, the displayed contact card is the result of merging these two profiles.

📍 Where to see this in the Dashboard?
Go to https://dashboard.vkard.io/cards.
There you will find the list of all VKARD cards linked to your account.
- Hover over a card: you will see edit icons.
- Click on the gear icon to edit the card.
- Once in the settings, you will access two sections:
- On the left: the personal information of the collaborator
- On the right: the entity (company) information
The combination of these two columns forms the final contact card displayed when the card is scanned.
📞 Typical example of duplicated information
Let’s take a common case:
- On your personal profile, you entered your direct phone number (e.g., 06 60 60 60 60)

- On the company profile, your company entered the main switchboard number (e.g., 04 01 02 03 04)

In this case, your VKARD will display both numbers because each comes from a distinct space.
This can give the impression that the information is "duplicated", while it actually comes from different and complementary sources.
âś… Why is this structure useful?
Separating the personal profile and the company entity offers several benefits:
- More precise data management
You can customize your information without affecting your colleagues.
- Fast company-wide updates
Whether you have 10, 50, or 200 collaborators, you can update the company’s address, phone, or website once for all, without editing each profile manually.
đź§ Good to know
- If you want to hide information or avoid visible duplicates on your VKARD, you can:
- Edit your personal profile to remove or adjust some info
- Ask the company administrator to update the global company information
