Unlike tons of shitty "cloud" bloatware/spyware, it is a standalone program, it don't need any internet connection to work. So, it does not upload anything to third-party server to recognize birds. It is a simple neural network (TensorFlow Lite based) that use trained model provided with program source.
You could make your RPi with birdnet accessible from internet if you wish, but do not have to.
Even on birdnetpi.com page there ar a lot of italic highlited word "local". Local recognition, local database, local webinterface, rare thing nowdays, really. Nice project.
all phone convos are digitzied, with both content and relevant metadata archived, and your individual voiceprint is likely already stored on an NSA server somewhere. Can confirm China already does this and if your voice is AI-matched to their dissident list your call gets auto-disconnected, hence the need for voice modulation.
Little late to be worried about this one. Your phone, TV, and car already do this.

I think a raspberry pi based application would be less than ideal for surveillance, since people using it are actually looking at the code they run.
