System and method for following updated pre-authorized contact data

Abstract

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for following updated pre-authorized contact data. An exemplary computer-implemented method includes transmitting contact data to at least a computing device when a machine-readable code is accessed by the computing device, wherein the machine-readable code encodes a network address for accessing the contact data, and wherein the contact data is associated with an entity. The method can also include receiving a selection by at least a user of the computing device to enable updating for the contact data associated with the entity. Moreover, the method can detect that the entity has provided an update for the contact data. The method can further include transmitting information associated with the update for the contact data to at least the computing device, wherein the contact data is modified based at least in part on the information associated with the update.
