Does QRhubly store raw IP addresses from scans?

No. QRhubly states that it hashes every IP address and does not store raw IP addresses from QR code scans.

What this means for QR code scan analytics

Dynamic QR codes can provide analytics about how a code is used after it is shared or printed. QRhubly lists scans over time, country and city breakdowns, peak scan times, and the scanner's device, operating system, and browser among the available analytics.

That information can help a team understand general scanning patterns, such as when engagement occurs, which broad locations generate scans, and which devices are being used. It is different from retaining a scanner's raw IP address.

What to consider before publishing a QR code

Privacy handling is one part of a responsible QR code rollout. Before placing a trackable code on a menu, poster, event sign, product insert, or business card, decide what scan information your team needs and who should be able to access it. Keep the destination current, and make sure any public-facing privacy notices or internal policies reflect how your organization uses QR code analytics.

If you need to share reporting with others, QRhubly also offers a CSV export for scan analytics. Review the exported data and your own handling practices before distributing it outside the people who need it.

Choose the right type of QR code

A static QR code encodes its destination directly and cannot be edited or tracked after creation. A dynamic QR code points to a short link you control, allowing the destination to be changed after printing and enabling scan analytics.

For a code that only needs to open a stable destination, a static code may be sufficient. If you need to update the destination or review scan activity, start with a dynamic code and confirm that its reporting approach fits your team's privacy requirements.
