Data breach notification provisions create operational requirements for entities to communicate security incidents to affected parties, establishing a procedural framework for incident response and regulatory compliance. This mechanism serves to ensure timely informational delivery regarding unauthorized access or compromise of personal data.
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.
View change record →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.
View change record →Removal of specific reference to a historical data breach indicates either that the incident is no longer disclosed or that Ledger has removed historical breach documentation from the current privacy policy.
View full change record →Customers who purchased Ledger products before July 2020 may have had their personal data exposed, and this information has been circulated online, posing ongoing identity and security risks.
