Audacity's updated privacy policy pages go on to say that Muse Group will occasionally share user data with its main office in Russia, and its external counsel in the USA. The above might be enough to cause ire among privacy campaigners, but it gets worse. FossPost brought this story to light and asserts that the new owners of Audacity updated the program's privacy policy to allow for "a wide range of data collection mechanisms," including data about your computer hardware, software, and even data for "law enforcement, litigation, and authority requests".
Unfortunately, it looks like a multinational company (Muse Group) recently bought up Audacity and has been busy implementing a "data-collection mechanism in the software".
That sounds like a great utility to have access to, and indeed over the years, on various PCs and laptops I have owned, I have downloaded and used Audacity for audio cutting, compressing, and conversion tasks.
