How Driyu keeps your home address off the public scan page
Home address is the one field a curious stranger should never see when they scan a pet tag. Driyu treats this as a permanent invariant, not a toggle.

Quick answer: Home address is never on the public scan page. It is not a toggle — there is no way to “show home address.” This is intentional and permanent.
Why it is permanent, not a toggle
A toggle implies a choice. Some choices should not be available to make under stress or by accident. Home address visibility on a public pet page falls into that category.
A scanned QR tag is read by people you have not met. The address shown there is a household address. Stalking, mail fraud, social-engineering attacks all start with a residence address. Driyu removes the option entirely.
What does show for location
Owner-chosen city and state, each governed by its own visibility toggle. Both default to on; both can be turned off. The combination gives a general region without giving the doorway.
How Driyu fits
The home address field lives in your account for billing and shipping. It does not propagate to the public scan page. No toggle, no flag, no setting changes that.

Frequently asked questions
Can I turn home address visibility on?
No. It is a permanent invariant, not a toggle.
Does my city show?
Yes if your city toggle is on (default). You can turn it off.
Does shipping use my address?
Yes — the address you provide for billing/shipping is account-private and not surfaced publicly.
What if my pet is found near my home?
A finder uses your toggled-on contact fields or the found-pet form. Your address is not the reunion path.
