What scan analytics can (and can't) tell you
By The QR Today team · Apr 15, 2026 · 5 min read
When you use a dynamic code, every scan passes through your short link, so we can count it before sending the visitor on. That gives you a clear picture of how your codes perform — without collecting anything personal.
What you can see
- Total and unique scans over any time range
- Which days and times people scan most
- Phone vs desktop, iOS vs Android
- Rough country and the source that referred the scan
What stays private
We count scans, not people. There are no names, no precise locations, and no cross-site tracking — just aggregated numbers that help you make better decisions about where to place your codes.
