Xecure
The Audacity team will no longer include telemetry.

The only things that may worry others is the auto-updates (used also for tracking, but can be disabled) and the error reporting (a dialog will ask if you want to send the error log to the devs, it doesn’t do it automatically). But they say it is only set up this way for the release downloaded from their website.
The behaviour described above for error reporting and update checking would only apply to official “release” versions of Audacity available from our website or GitHub page. In other builds, the error reporting and update checking code will be excluded by default via CMake options.
