How does precise location tracking work in QRCodeChimp?

QRCodeChimp’s precise location tracking uses the user’s location, with their permission, to provide more accurate scan-location data.

How it works

• When precise location tracking is enabled, the browser requests location permission.
• If the user allows access, their precise location can be captured.
• If the user denies access or the precise location is unavailable, an approximate IP-based location can be recorded instead.

Does location permission affect access?

When precise location tracking is used only for analytics, QR code content continues to open even if the user denies location permission.

However, when Geofencing is enabled for a Form QR Code, access also depends on the configured location restrictions:

• If the user’s precise location falls within any allowed area, they can access the form.
• If precise location is unavailable, the form follows If precise location is unavailable.
• If the user’s precise location falls outside every allowed area, the form follows If outside allowed locations.

Analytics benefits

Precise location data helps you better understand where scans occur and assess the performance of location-focused campaigns.

Note: Precise location is collected only with the user’s permission.
