Contact
Overview
A contact record links a person or company to the artwork. This might be a dealer who sold the work, a restorer who treated it, an insurer, a courier, or any other party relevant to the artwork's care or commerce. Contacts are imported from the owner's device address book, keeping the app in sync with the owner's existing contact management.
Contact records are part of the back card (vault). They are strictly private to the owner.

Business Rules
Contacts are private — only the current owner can see and manage them.
Contacts are synced from the owner's device address book. The record ID and device ID are stored so that changes made in the device's address book can be reflected in the app.
Contacts are not included in a transfer by default. The sender may explicitly opt in to share them. See Transfer.
Constraints
- Contact data is never included in public or social feed queries.
- There is no limit on the number of contacts a card can have.
