Know Who Scans
When and Where

When someone scans your QR code, the request passes through QRZY's global edge network. QRZY captures the scan metadata — timestamp, approximate location (country/city), device type, and channel tag if present — before redirecting the user to your destination. This data is aggregated and shown in your dashboard as actionable analytics.

Yes. QRZY's analytics are designed to be GDPR-compliant from the ground up. No cookies are set on end users' devices, IP addresses are never stored in raw form, and raw scan records are automatically purged after 7 days. Long-term analytics consist of aggregated counts only — no personally identifiable information is retained.

Yes — this is one of QRZY's most powerful tracking features. Add a channel suffix to your QR code URL (e.g. qrzy.co/abc123/instagram, qrzy.co/abc123/flyer) and each variant is tracked separately. Your dashboard shows a breakdown by channel so you can see exactly which placement, campaign, or platform is driving the most scans.

The free tier includes 7 days of scan history with daily granularity. You can see total scans, top countries, device breakdown (mobile/desktop/tablet), and channel attribution for the past week. Paid plans extend the history window and add hourly or real-time granularity — see our pricing page for full details.

No. QR code scan tracking is built into QRZY at the infrastructure level. There is no SDK to install, no JavaScript snippet to add to your destination page, and nothing your users need to do. Every QRZY QR code is automatically tracked from the moment it is created.
