Guides and questions.
Quick answers about building your card, sharing it privately, and reference date ideas by area.
Your card
What is a Jewgo Card?
A living digital profile that replaces emailed PDFs and resumes. Update your card once and every active link shows the latest version. It is not a dating app or public directory. You share privately with people you choose.
See a complete sample on our example card.
How do I get started?
Building your card takes three short steps: the basics, about you, and family and background. Everything saves as you go, so you can leave and come back anytime.
- Add basics: name, age, height, location, community
- Write your About and family summary
- Upload at least one photo and add two references
- Create your first access link (defaults to Limited access)
Your dashboard shows your resume status (never a score or percentage) with suggestions, so you know what to add before sharing.
How much does Jewgo Card cost?
Jewgo Card is free. A free card includes up to 2 photos and up to 3 active access links. The people you share with never pay or sign up.
Premium is $2.99/month and adds:
- Up to 5 photos on your card
- Up to 25 active access links at once
- PDF export of your card
- Privacy view: shared links block screenshots on supported devices, and are watermarked on the web
What should I write in About?
Sound like you: personality, interests, values, and a glimpse of daily life. Up to 2,000 characters. Avoid generic phrases that could describe anyone.
In "Looking for," describe values and lifestyle, not a rigid checklist of traits.
What goes in the family section?
Family summary (shown on Limited access links): parents' names, sibling order, where parents live.
Sensitive details (Full access only): parent phone numbers, addresses, extended family notes.
Example summary: "Parents: Mr. & Mrs. Sample (née Demo), Anytown. Middle of 3 siblings."
How many photos should I add?
You can upload up to 2 photos, or 5 with Premium. One clear, recent primary photo is enough to start; a portrait plus a full-body shot gives families a fuller picture.
- Modest attire, natural light, warm expression
- Avoid group shots, heavy filters, or very old photos
- Shown on Limited access and Full access links · hidden on Full profile, no photos. (Limited access links created before October 16, 2026 keep hiding photos.)
Who should I list as references?
Ask permission first. List at least two people who know you well and will speak honestly, such as friends, family friends, teachers, or mentors.
Include name, relationship, and contact info. Example: "Reference Example · family friend · WhatsApp 555-010-2000"
References appear on Full access and Full profile, no photos links, not on Limited access.
What about education, work, and background?
List one school or job per line. Add community, hashkafa, and lifestyle details that help families assess fit. Most of this appears on Limited links.
Clear and accurate beats overfilled. Update age, height, and location when something changes.
What happens to my Jewgo sign-in if I delete my card?
Deleting your Jewgo Card account erases your card, photos, references, and every share link, which stop working immediately. Backup copies and subscriptions are covered on the Delete account page.
Your Jewgo account, the sign-in you may also use for other Jewgo products, is not deleted. You can close it separately from your Jewgo account settings. Details are on the delete account page.
Sharing & privacy
How does private sharing work?
One card, a separate private access link for each recipient. You choose what they see, track when they view it, and revoke access anytime. Recipients need no account.
- Go to Access → Create access link
- Add a private recipient label (never shown to the viewer)
- Choose visibility: Limited access, Full access, or Full profile, no photos
- Optionally add a PIN and expiry date
- Share the link via text, email, or WhatsApp
Does the person I share with need an account or the app?
No. They open your link in their web browser with no account or sign-up. If you added a PIN, they enter it first. A link with Privacy view needs a browser that supports protected video (Safari, Chrome, or Edge on most devices) or the Jewgo Card app. An expired or revoked link shows nothing from your card.
What are the visibility levels?
Every link has a visibility level you choose when creating it. New links default to Limited access.
- Limited access: photos, name, family details, and the summary (about, education, background). References, phone, and email stay hidden. Links created before October 16, 2026 keep the original Limited access view: no photos, last name, family details, references, or contact details. Anything you type into About or the family summary is shown as written, and age and birthday are shown unless you turn off Birth details on the link.
- Full access: everything, including photos, references, sensitive family details, and contact preferences.
- Full profile, no photos: same as Full access except photos stay hidden.
When should I use each visibility level?
- Limited access for new introductions and first looks
- Full access when a family or shadchan asks for photos and references
- Full profile, no photos when full details are appropriate but images are not yet
- Create a new link with a different level if circumstances change
How do PINs, expiry, and revocation work?
- PIN: require a code to open the link. Share it separately from the URL
- Expiry: the link stops working after the date you set
- Revoke: turn off any link instantly from your Access dashboard
- Reissue: generate a fresh URL if the old one was shared by mistake
For storage and encryption details, see our Security page.
Can anyone search for or find my card?
No. Jewgo Card has no directory, no search, and no browsing. Your card can only be opened through a link you created, and only until you revoke it or it expires. Share links are kept out of search engines.
Anyone who has a link can still pass it on, which is why each link can carry its own PIN and expiry date, and why you can see when it is viewed.
