Ledger substantially rewrote its privacy policy on April 19, 2026, removing 188 sentences while adding only 11 new ones. The updated policy is shorter and restructured, with the opening section reorganized and language about policy updates and service exclusions removed. Notably, the policy no longer explicitly mentions that Ledger Recover and Ledger Multisig services are not covered by this privacy policy, and no longer directs users to separate privacy policies for those services.
Consumers: Users can no longer clearly see in this policy that certain Ledger services may be governed by separate privacy rules.
Consumers: Users are no longer directed to where to find privacy information for Recover and Multisig services, creating confusion about where to look for those service-specific disclosures.
The updated policy removes explicit language stating that Ledger Recover and Ledger Multisig services are excluded from this privacy policy. Previously, users were directed to separate privacy policies for those services; that direction is now absent. This creates ambiguity about whether this policy now covers those services or whether separate policies still apply. The dramatic reduction in policy length (from 224 to 36 sentences) suggests substantial content was removed, though the specific implications depend on what other sections were condensed or eliminated. You should review the full updated policy to confirm what data practices and service exclusions remain in effect for all Ledger services you use.
→ Review the full updated privacy policy to understand what services are now covered.
→ If you use Ledger Recover or Multisig, search for separate privacy policies for those services on Ledger's website or contact Ledger support to confirm where their privacy terms are disclosed.
→ Compare the updated policy to what you understood before to identify any new or changed data practices that affect you.

Modified language about unilateral policy updates; changed from 'we may update this Privacy Policy whenever needed or if the law requires it' plus notice of continued use as consent, to 'If you continue to use our services after updates, you're agreeing to the new terms,' which is functionally similar but removes the prior statement that law can require updates.
