FairTap Network UK-LON API v1 All systems operational

The connection layer for live events.

FairTap™ gives every attendee a secure digital event identity and turns real-world interactions into structured, consent-aware connections that organisers and exhibitors can act on.

Enquire about FairTap™ See how it works

From first scan to follow-up — one event-native platform. Built by The UK Careers Fair. Designed for events everywhere.

The problem

Live events generate thousands of signals. Most disappear.

The problem isn't a lack of data. It's that the data is fragmented across a dozen systems, delayed until after the event, and disconnected from the physical moment that created it.

One connection layer

FairTap™

Every authorised interaction becomes a single structured, consent-aware connection — captured at the moment it happens, available to every approved system after.

Connection plane

One tap. A real connection.

Four stages take an interaction from the show floor to your systems — in real time, or the moment connectivity returns.

01

Identify

Every attendee receives a secure event identity — a digital QR pass, wallet pass, printed credential or future supported identifier.

02

Connect

An authorised exhibitor, organiser or event touchpoint records an interaction with a single tap.

03

Understand

FairTap™ structures the connection by event, exhibitor, time, location, permission and declared interest.

04

Activate

The interaction appears in dashboards, triggers workflows, updates approved systems and supports relevant follow-up.

The platform

Five parts of one system — not five products.

FairTap™ is a single platform for the whole event lifecycle: identity, capture, real-time intelligence, structured leads and organiser control.

FairTap™ Pass

A persistent, secure event identity for every attendee — represented through a digital QR pass, wallet pass or printed fallback, with event-specific permissions and controlled data sharing.

FairTap™ Scan

A mobile-first capture tool built for the show floor — offline-first, fast, and forgiving of queues and poor connectivity.

FairTap™ Live

Real-time event intelligence — flow, engagement and operational health while the event is happening, not the week after.

FairTap™ Leads

Structured post-event engagement — searchable, consent-aware connections ready for follow-up and approved systems.

FairTap™ Control

Organiser and administrator operations — events, exhibitors, scanners, roles, consent policy, audit and integration configuration.

The FairTap™ Event Graph

A scan isn't a row in a spreadsheet.

FairTap™ records the context around each interaction — creating a structured event graph that can power reporting, routing, personalisation and follow-up. Select a node to explore.

The connection

Every authorised interaction becomes a first-class object linking an attendee, an exhibitor and a touchpoint — with the time, consent state and declared interest that gives it meaning.


      

    

  







  

    

      
Developers

      
Built to connect with the rest of your event stack.

      
FairTap™ is API-first: an event-driven core, signed webhooks and scoped credentials, so FairTap fits the tools you already run.

    

    

      

        
REST API & event-driven webhooks — versioned endpoints, idempotent writes, signed payloads.

        
OAuth 2.0 & scoped API keys — organisation and event scopes, role-based access control.

        
Reliable delivery — retries with backoff, delivery logs, event replay, HMAC signature verification.

        
Sandbox environments — test keys, rate-limit visibility, audit trails and usage monitoring.

        
SDKs — JavaScript, TypeScript and mobile environments.

Webhooks & automation

      
What happens after the tap.

      
A single connection can fan out across your stack — verified, consent-checked and idempotent, so every downstream system stays in sync.

Offline-first

      
Built for the moment the Wi-Fi fails.

      
Show-floor connectivity is unreliable. FairTap™ Scan confirms instantly on-device, queues securely, and reconciles without duplicates when the connection returns.

Immediate on-device success. Each scan is written to a local encrypted queue and confirmed instantly — no spinner, no lost lead.

        
Conflict-safe reconciliation. Records carry idempotency keys and device-level event keys, so reconnection can't create duplicates.

        
Time-ordered recovery. Retry with exponential backoff, sync-health indicators, and secure local expiry once records are confirmed.

      

    

  







  

    

      
Trust & security plane

      
Consent is part of the connection.

      
FairTap™ is designed around UK GDPR principles from the data model up — not bolted on afterwards. Personal data is minimised, encrypted, pseudonymised and governed by the consent captured at the point of interaction.

    

    

      

        
        
Encrypted end to end

        
Data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256-GCM. Secrets and API keys are hashed with Argon2id; keys are never stored in plaintext.

      

      

        
        
Pseudonymised identities

        
Pass identifiers are salted and hashed with SHA-256; the QR encodes an opaque token, never personal data. Analytics operate on pseudonymised, aggregated keys so reporting can't re-identify an individual.

      

      

        
        
Signed & verifiable

        
Every webhook payload carries an HMAC-SHA-256 signature and timestamp for verification and replay protection. Writes are idempotent; each carries a request signature and audit reference.

      

      

        
        
Consent that travels

        
Explicit, timestamped, versioned consent is recorded at the point of interaction and travels with the connection. Withdrawal propagates to exports and downstream systems; purpose limitation is enforced per event and exhibitor.

      

      

        
        
Data minimisation & retention

        
Only the fields an exhibitor is authorised to receive are shared. Configurable retention windows trigger automatic deletion; erasure requests are honoured by crypto-shredding the per-record encryption key, rendering data unrecoverable.

      

      

        
        
Role-based & audited

        
Multi-tenant, event-scoped access with role-based permissions and least-privilege API scopes. Every access and export is written to an append-only audit log; data-residency options are available for enterprise deployments.
