Impact Summary

Medium Negative for users
Affected users
All users Ledger Wallet users Ledger Recover users Ledger Multisig users

Ledger significantly restructured its privacy policy on April 2, 2026, removing 188 sentences and adding 11 new ones. The policy now opens with 'Your privacy, our priority' instead of a longer explanation, and reorganized sections with a new 'What this policy covers' heading. Notably, the policy removed explicit carve-outs stating that the privacy policy does not apply to Ledger Recover and Ledger Multisig services, along with references to their dedicated privacy policies, which means these services are now either covered by this single policy or their coverage status has become unclear.

1 protection removed

Consumers: Consumers using Ledger Recover or Multisig no longer have clear notice from the main privacy policy about whether those services are covered by this policy or subject to separate terms.

What this means for you

Ledger removed language explicitly stating that this privacy policy does not cover Ledger Recover and Ledger Multisig services, and eliminated references to dedicated privacy policies for those services. This creates ambiguity about whether those services are now governed by the main privacy policy or whether separate policies exist but are no longer disclosed in this document. If you use Ledger Recover or Ledger Multisig, you should review the privacy disclosures for those specific services directly, as it is no longer clear from the main privacy policy whether separate protections apply.

What you can do

If you use Ledger Recover or Multisig, locate and review the privacy disclosures or terms of service specific to those services to understand what data they collect and how it is used.

Contact Ledger support to confirm whether those services are covered by the main privacy policy or remain subject to separate privacy terms.

Key Clauses Affected

Service coverage scope

Removed explicit carve-out stating privacy policy does not apply to Ledger Recover and Multisig, creating ambiguity about whether those services are now covered.

Policy update notice

Modified language from 'If you keep using our services after updates, you're agreeing to the new terms' to 'If you continue to use our services after updates, you're agreeing to the new terms,' a minor semantic shift with no material change in meaning.
