Can Google Forms see your IP address?

Can Google Forms see your IP address?

Final Words! Tracing the details like IP address, geolocation, browsers, etc, of form respondents, can help you in eliminating the abusive responses that can ruin your important surveys. But, as you know Google Forms does not allow you to track the IP addresses of the respondent.

Can Google track IP addresses?

IP addresses are not available in your Google Analytics reports. So, while Google does collect IP addresses, Google doesn’t provide that data to end users. The bottom line is you are not able to see IP addresses anywhere in your Google Analytics reports.

Can you tell who submitted a Google form?

When you go in to edit your google form, you can click the Google Sheets logo at the top to get a spreadsheet of all of the responses. This spreadsheet has a time stamp of the exact time each response was submitted.

Are Google forms actually anonymous?

You can create a Google Form that ensures responses are anonymous. Respondents can also tell when their identity is being recorded or not.

Does Google Forms record time?

I’ve checked the faq, online forums and tested with a trial survey which records only the time the Google form is submitted. Google Forms does not have that feature. If you would like additional features or options, you should provide feedback to Google. The Google product team does review this feedback.

Are Google Forms secure?

The data is as secure as most other systems which take survey data and store it. Anything that you would normally store encrypted should NOT be collected using a Google Form. This would include passwords, social security numbers, credit card numbers, medical data, etc.
