Audacity, a very popular music content editing software, has denied accusations that its privacy policies have transformed it into a potential spy.
The open-source tool, with over 100 million users worldwide, is very popular among podcasters and music editors.
The new privacy policy says that user data can be shared with the Russian company WSM on whose infrastructure it relies.
Audacity says the only information it shares with users is software updates and bug reports. But since the policy update was released last week, there have been hostile reactions to the software of the perceived threatened user who installed the product.
Audacity was bought by the Cypriot firm Muse Group in April 2021. / PCWorld Albanian
