Not especially, it tracks the QR code.

I try not to scan QR codes if I can help it, but sometimes I can't help it.
But with my limited experience, I concur with all of Andy's comments.

It just works.

If it's not working for the OP, maybe the OP needs a different app?
Typing "qr" into Muntashirakon just now, reveals I've installed these...

 QR Code Reader <krow.dev.qrcode>
 QR Code Scanner <com.scanteam.qrcodereader>
 QR Code Scanner - Scan Barcode <barcodecanner.qrscanner>
 QR Scanner <com.secuso.privacyFriendlyCodeScanner>

I don't remember the details of why I chose those years ago though.
Generally I use Skyica/Aurora to find the best privacy-related apps.

And then I test dozens at a time, eliminating all that get one strike.
Only apps that don't strike out with a single strike are allowed to stay.
