If I use coinjoin like JoinMarket, does JoinMarket keep track of transactions or logs some other information regarding my transactions? Are the smart contracts public somewhere?

In a JoinMarket coinjoin, there are makers (who provide liquidity) and takers (who buy liquidity from them). These coinjoin transactions are all public on the blockchain, with a distinct footprint. Takers trust no one in JoinMarket. Makers leave a log of the movement of funds with the taker who pays for their liquidity.

"Makers leave a lof of the movement of funds with the taker..." does this mean that there will be a history of transactions that the maker or JoinMarket will be able to see, and through them, keep records of how you mixed your coins? Is this true regardless of if the mixer is centralized/decentralized?
