Two months ago, Audacity was acquired by Muse Group, which owns other audio-related projects including the Ultimate Guitar website and the MuseScore app. According to Fosspost, changes to the privacy policy section on the Audacity website indicate that several personal data collection mechanisms have since been added by the parent company.
Understandably, the policy changes have upset Audacity users, who have taken to Reddit and GitHub to question why an offline desktop app needs to "phone home" at all, and there is already discussion about forking Audacity into a separate open-source project that's free from the Muse Group's ownership and questionable data collection practices.

Ik gebruik naar volle tevredenheid Fission van Rogue Amoeba software https://www.rogueamoeba.com/fission/
Note: Before purchase, audio saved with Fission will be degraded via audio fades.
Nogmaals reclame voor het gratis OcenAudio hier, nu met een link naar de download pagina voor alle platforms. Ik weet niet hoe het zit met de dataverzamelwoede. Er is ook al een macOS ARM versie.
Update: The developers behind Audacity shared an announcement that their privacy policy page was “misunderstood” due to poor wording in it, and that they will rewrite it to avoid possible confusion. Error reporting and basic system information collection is opt-in, but automatic update checking (which sends your IP address to them at every usage) is opt-out.
