what is RFID
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a wireless technology that uses radio waves to transfer data. It enables data-storing tags to be identified, read, and tracked without needing direct line of sight. These tags respond to specific radio frequencies, giving access to the information stored on the items they’re attached to.
RFID tags are commonly used across various industries to track the location of cars, medications, livestock, and even pets.
However, the downside is that RFID tags can be attached to personal items, leaving them vulnerable to unauthorized access. Criminals can use these tags to access, clone, and misuse personal data—meaning your identity documents and bank cards could potentially expose sensitive information like your address, phone number, social security number, and account details.
To keep your information safe, Brando ensures that every one of its leather products is lined with a specially engineered RFID-blocking fabric. This fabric prevents harmful radio waves from accessing or copying your personal data.
