Desktop configuration software for Rode microphones — a hardware utility with minimal data collection, and one of the genuinely low-stakes rows in this tracker. The honest note: companion apps for audio hardware typically require firmware update channels, which means the manufacturer retains the ability to change how a device you own behaves after purchase. That is the same structural power documented in the HP printer and John Deere rows, just exercised benignly here.

Terms
Arbitration
Not independently confirmed this pass.
Data sharing
Not independently confirmed this pass with a specific named lawsuit or breach; this is companion hardware-configuration software for RODE microphones rather than a data-intensive consumer service, meaning its privacy footprint is likely much smaller than most other entries in this tracker.
Fees and billing
Not itemized this pass.
Contacts
Privacy contact. Not recorded.
Legal notice. Not verified this pass. If publicly traded: SEC Form 10-K cover page gives the official corporate address; the Secretary of State business-entity search in the state of incorporation gives the registered agent, which must accept service. If private: the state registered agent is usually the only reliable route.
Mailing address. Not recorded.
