      I don’t know the specifcs, but there are strict rules and requirements on how the data has to be stored if you process any of it, then there is complience issues with laws like GDPR and you have to be a registered entity as far as I know. It’s just too much legal paperwork for most FOSS projects.

          I’m actually not sure how NFC handles the trasmission. Theoretically it can access internet and other communication protocols like bluetooth.
