What it is

The policy provides specific withdrawal mechanisms for four categories of consent: cookie-based processing (via Cookie Policy), marketing email communications (via unsubscribe link), Ledger Wallet application data processing (via app settings), and push notifications (via phone settings).

This analysis describes what Ledger's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision enumerates distinct consent withdrawal pathways for each processing context, which is operationally relevant for compliance with GDPR's requirement that consent withdrawal be as easy as consent was given. The differentiation between in-app controls, email unsubscribe, and device-level settings reflects processing across multiple channels.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

High Apr 19, 2026

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.

Medium Apr 2, 2026

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.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Each withdrawal mechanism is specific to a processing channel, meaning users who wish to withdraw consent across all channels must use each mechanism separately.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Open the Ledger Wallet application, navigate to Settings, and adjust data-sharing or consent preferences as available. For push notifications, adjust settings in your phone's notification preferences. For marketing emails, click 'Unsubscribe' in the footer of any Ledger marketing email.
