If my interpretation of the term is correct, by using Audacity, you are agreed that it can collect any data the authority request it. The data will be hosted on EU region but shared with Russia and USA too because they have branches on these countries.

That's not what I expect from a software that require no remote server to function.

The government can compel audacity (or rather the muse group) to anything, regardless of your consent to an EULA. The only remedy is the Muse group fighting a hypothetical order in court.

The government cannot compel the Muse group to do anything with data it doesn't have.
