You can restrict the data in your QR Code to allow only authorized personnel to access it by adding a password to it. read this: https://scanova.io/blog/blog/2015/07/14/password-protected-qr-codes/

You do realize that Scanova doesn't over password protected QR codes, but it uses tracking links instead. So if you create a so called "dynamic link" to a site, you'll get another URL, that will redirect to your URL. This allows for this company to inject tracking stuff in there, and also a login screen.

If you want to password protect a link, you should put a password protection on the website. Putting it on the QR code, is like locking your front door and only telling friends that the key is under the carpet.

or the qr code data can be encrypted with strong algo like SHA512 or else.
