Does using a torrent search engine via qBittorrent that is coded in Python affect my privacy in any way? (lemmy.ml)

I recently installed some torrent search engines into my qBittorrent application and I was wondering if it came with any privacy concerns.

How does it gather the data using Python? Does it visit the website using my default browser or does it fetch it in some other way?
