There isn't a current opt-in even included for the aforementioned telemetry data. The statement is linked in the section of the article you're quoting from. We assumed that making it opt-in would allay privacy concerns but since this isn't the case, we are dropping it. They revoked that pull request, and put out this statement May 13. You keep referring to May's updates like they bear relevancy to the currently established policies. So why exclude minors unless you're collecting information now or in the future that would cause legal issue? None of that includes hardware collection, telemetry, or any other reasonable non-identifying data to collect. Name, addresses however vague, online contact info, screen or usernames, telephone numbers, a "persistent identifier that can be used to recognize a user over time and across different websites or online services," photo video or audio files that contain a child's image or voice, geolocation information sufficient to identify street name or name of city or town, or information concerning the child or the parents that the operator collects online from the child and combines with an identifier above. The only reason you would need to deny minors from the application is if you're collecting "personal information" that would be covered by COPPA. The terms of service privacy section refers you to the privacy policy. Nothing in the Privacy Notice includes an opt out for data collection. Perhaps you missed where it's talking about the Jul 2nd updates to the privacy policy, which is still the latest and unchanged policy at the time of this comment. I'm not seeing how or why Audacity has a reasonable need for more than basic system info.Īlso the reason that this is a "fact of life" in 2021 is because when companies implement it, people don't have the nerve to abandon the service until it changes back. What information that it needs to collect is useful to law enforcement? "Jim made a WAV file and he normalized it wrong."Īctual audio would need to be obtained through a warrant for the device it's on. Os informatiom, fine, but we're talking about an audio editor. There's no reason to log ip for software without networking features. There's no reason they shouldn't state what this "necessary" information is. If they don't track that data, there's nothing to hand over. If information is subpoenad, Audacity has to hand it over. If you ask what law enforcement considers "Necessary" you get a long list. This leaves the last row-"data necessary for law enforcement, litigation and authorities' requests (if any)." While that's certainly a broad category and not particularly well-defined, it's also a fact of life in 2021 Resources /r/podcasting Wiki Related Subreddits Questions? Posted something that's missing?
