Yes. In real life it doesn't matter since play stops when a claim is rejected and the director sorts it out. But on BBO, it is normal that play continues after a claim is rejected. And therefore it is important that declarer doesn't know who rejected the claim.
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

I can see my partner's Queen when a claim is made, and am capable of rejecting a claim on his behalf.

Well then one may know it at the end of a hand, because sometimes one denies an hand simple to make and the opp criticize wrongly the player that had accepted

Partly true but not entirely. When a claim is made, all four hands are revealed, so a defender can reject based on their partner's hand.
Now I see that 1eyedjack already mentioned this.

Yeah but your partner is likely to be capable of rejecting it even faster than you are.
