# Collecting user badge data

In the Contact Tracing application, manage data for user badges and badge readers. Identify potentially exposed users who may have come in contact with affected users by importing their badge swipe data into the application.

Use this badge swipe data when running the diagnostic requests in the Emergency Exposure Management application.
