My Digital Card (MDC)

German NFC card provider with a free cloud profile – strong hardware, weak enterprise maturity

  • HQBreite Straße 25, 13597 Berlin
  • Target audienceIndividual users and small to medium-sized teams looking for a high-quality physical NFC metal or wood business card plus a simple cloud profile, who place no value on SSO, an API or formal compliance documentation

My Digital Card (MDC) is operated by Relativity GmbH, based at Breite Straße 25 in 13597 Berlin. Unlike pure software providers, MDC comes from the hardware side: at its core are physical NFC business cards made of metal or wood, as well as the MDC Tag and the Sigma Card, available in the Shopify-based online store.

Every card includes free access to the cloud-based profile platform MDC-Cloud, which is used to manage contact details, links and branding. Contact exchange works via NFC tap or QR scan without a separate app.

In our overall assessment, MDC scores 51 out of 100 points, positioning it as a solid entry-level and SME tool whose strength clearly lies in card quality rather than software depth. For companies, there is also a corporate dashboard that can be used to design employee cards, track success and scale via volume discounts and a white-label dashboard.

Strengths

  • High-quality physical NFC cards made of metal and wood (including the Sigma Card and MDC Tag) with a QR code – a genuine unique selling point compared to pure software providers
  • German provider (Relativity GmbH, Berlin) with German-language email support as well as development and operations out of Germany
  • Existing corporate offering: a company dashboard for designing employee cards, success tracking, bulk provisioning, volume discounts and a white-label dashboard
  • Free MDC-Cloud included in the card purchase price – no additional monthly per-user subscription needed (strong price-performance, 66/100)
  • Easy to use without an app: contact exchange via NFC tap or QR scan

Weaknesses

  • GDPR risk for B2B: the cloud runs on the US no-code platform Bubble.io (default hosting AWS USA); no documented DE/EU server location, no data processing agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR, no ISO 27001 or SOC 2 (GDPR score only 40/100)
  • Missing enterprise administration: no verifiable SSO (SAML/OIDC/SCIM), MDM, Entra ID integration or granular roles and permissions (enterprise integration only 25/100)
  • No verifiable CRM integrations, no public API and no wallet or email signature features – purely a contact profile platform
  • Hardly any independent market validation: no public reviews on G2, Capterra or Trustpilot and little transparent public B2B pricing structure

Data protection & server location

Data protection reveals MDC's biggest weakness, which is reflected in its low GDPR category score of 40 out of 100 points. While the operator is a German GmbH based in Berlin, this does not replace a documented server location.

The MDC-Cloud is technically implemented as a no-code application on the US platform Bubble.io – recognizable by server headers such as x-bubble-* and by images from cdn.bubble.io – and is delivered via Cloudflare. Bubble hosts by default on AWS in the USA; EU hosting is only available in higher Bubble tiers and cannot be verified for MDC.

A German or EU server location is therefore not documented (serverLocationGermany: false). Likewise, a data processing agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR, ISO 27001 certification or a SOC 2 report are not evidenced. For B2B buyers, this means that the question of data transfer to the USA must be carefully examined before deployment.

At least the provider references data protection and legal notice pages of the MDC-Cloud, but reliable compliance documents are missing.

Enterprise readiness & integration

For B2B use, MDC delivers an existing but lightweight offering – this is reflected in the category scores for team and admin features (55 out of 100) and enterprise integration (25 out of 100). On the positive side: there is a corporate dashboard for centrally designing employee cards, along with success tracking, bulk provisioning and a white-label dashboard – features that many pure hardware sellers do not offer.

For centrally managing medium-sized teams, this is often sufficient in practice. However, it becomes thin when it comes to the classic enterprise features: verifiable SSO methods (SAML, OIDC or SCIM), MDM connectivity, Entra ID provisioning or granular role and permission concepts are not evidenced.

Likewise, there is no public API and no named CRM integrations; wallet or email signature features are not documented. MDC is therefore purely a contact profile platform with a team layer on top, not full-fledged enterprise software.

The low enterprise score of 25 points reflects exactly this gap.

Pricing & plans

We deliberately do not list prices on digitale-visitenkarten.de: they change frequently and are not transparently and fully available for every provider. For My Digital Card (MDC)’s current terms, please refer directly to the provider’s website.

My Digital Card (MDC) FAQ

Where is My Digital Card (MDC) data stored, and is the service GDPR-compliant?

While the operator is the German company Relativity GmbH from Berlin, a German or EU server location is not documented. The MDC-Cloud is technically implemented on the US no-code platform Bubble.io (recognizable by x-bubble-* headers and cdn.bubble.io) and is delivered via Cloudflare.

Bubble hosts by default on AWS in the USA. A data processing agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR, ISO 27001 certification or a SOC 2 report are not evidenced. For B2B use, the question of US data transfer should therefore be examined before signing a contract.

How much does My Digital Card cost, and is there a free offering?

MDC primarily sells hardware: the physical NFC cards are available as a one-time purchase. Access to the MDC-Cloud is included in the purchase price; there is no separate per-user, per-month subscription. For companies, MDC offers volume discounts and an individual or white-label dashboard on request; concrete per-user prices, however, are not publicly documented.

Is MDC suitable for companies and teams?

For small to medium-sized teams, yes: there is a company dashboard for designing employee cards with success tracking, bulk provisioning, volume discounts and a white-label option. For demanding enterprise rollouts, however, central building blocks are missing – verifiable SSO (SAML/OIDC/SCIM), MDM, Entra ID provisioning, granular roles and permissions as well as a public API and CRM integrations are not evidenced.

In our assessment, MDC therefore scores 55/100 for team/admin features, but only 25/100 for enterprise integration.

What distinguishes MDC from pure software providers of digital business cards?

MDC comes from the hardware side: the core is a high-quality physical NFC card made of metal or wood with a QR code, and the cloud is more of an add-on. This is an advantage for anyone who wants a premium card for exchanging contacts in person.

Those who, on the other hand, need deep software features such as API access, CRM connections, wallet integration or formal compliance documentation (a data processing agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR, ISO 27001, EU hosting) will find these better covered by more software- and B2B-oriented providers with a documented EU server location.
