Audacity 3.0 and up Spyware

I'm monitoring the situation closely. As there was no accompanying release with the July 2 change in privacy policy, I was thinking that it was being written overly broad for a specific situation. It seems that may be the case and we'll see how they adjust the policy over the coming days: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/discussions/1225

Side Note: In a similar fashion, our privacy policy for PortableApps.com is written more broadly than is necessary as that was the standard way to do it when I had written it using online guides. We technically collect "personal" information in the form of IP addresses (mostly only the EU considers it personal) for the standard Apache logs, though we don't save the logs permanently and it's entirely deleted every few days. I set the wiping before anyone even considered IP addresses personal information from a legal standpoint purely due to disk space issues over a decade ago. Log files get *big*. The privacy aspect was just an unexpected bonus, it turns out.
