Ledger retains personal data for varying periods depending on the purpose, such as retaining customer purchase data for the duration of the legal warranty period and marketing data until you unsubscribe or object.

Data retention periods define the operational duration of personal data storage and establish when deletion or anonymization occurs. This provision determines the scope and duration of Ledger's data processing obligations under applicable privacy regulations.
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.
