This 4th of July , InfoCons Marks 250 Years of U.S. Independence by Launching the ONLY Consumer Protection Passport Between Europe and the USA available in 33 languages !
On the United States’ Independence Day – the Fourth of July, marking 250 years of American independence, a day that celebrates freedom and the close ties between the peoples on both shores of the Atlantic, InfoCons is launching the ONLY Consumer Protection Passport linking Europe and the United States.
It is a free digital tool – 33 languages and 33 apps in a single Passport for any journey – aimed equally at every citizen of the European Union traveling to the USA and every citizen of the United States who travels through, transits, or does business in any EU member state.
In a world where mobility between Europe and America keeps intensifying, fast access to accurate information – in one’s native language – is becoming a fundamental consumer right. Every year, roughly 10–13 million EU citizens visit the United States, while roughly 12–14 million U.S. citizens travel to the European Union for tourism, business, or study. With the InfoCons Passport, consumer protection no longer stops at the border: it travels with the citizen, wherever they go.
The SOS Section of the InfoCons App – Safety One Tap Away
At the heart of the app is the SOS section, the component that can make all the difference in a critical moment. Here, the user finds useful and emergency numbers at local, national, and international level: Ambulance, Police, Fire, Consumer Protection, Border Police, and more. Users have access to roughly 1,000 emergency numbers for the states of the United States and roughly 500 for the countries of the European Union.
Its most important feature is that the SOS section of the InfoCons App works even offline. In a foreign country, internet access can be limited or unavailable, and in an emergency every second counts. So the emergency numbers stay within reach even when there is no connection – a feature that turns the app into a genuine safety tool the consumer can carry at all times.
33 Languages and 33 Apps in a Single Passport for Any Journey
The InfoCons Passport is more than a list of useful numbers: it is the ONLY global app that brings together 33 consumer-protection apps in one, available in 33 languages. Install it once and you always have – at home, while shopping, or on holiday – every tool you need for your health, your money, and your safety.
