Many companies offer their employees an HSA through their workplace. If eligible, employees can contribute pre-tax dollars from their paycheck into an HSA, and employers may also contribute as part of their employee benefits package.
There are contribution limits each year, which the IRS determines. However, catch-up contributions can be made by individuals aged 55 or older, allowing the account owner to make additional contributions.
Like any other kind of technology, understanding QR code safety is important. Generally, these codes are safe, but scammers can take advantage of them and gain access to your data. Just like you should never click on an unknown email link, it’s best to not open a link from a QR code that you’re unfamiliar with or that seems suspicious.
Most QR codes cannot live-track when you scan them, so any of your real-time data is protected, and you cannot be personally identified whenever you scan a QR code on your device.
The type of data these codes collect is around their usage rather than the people who are using them. As more browsers move to cookieless tracking options, QR codes help businesses gather first-party data while still keeping users of QR codes safe online.
