Data Retention Policy

Medium severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

Ledger keeps your personal data for as long as needed to provide services, comply with laws, and resolve disputes — but does not specify exact retention periods for each data category in this excerpt.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Ledger retains your personal data indefinitely as long as it is 'necessary,' with legal compliance and dispute resolution cited as open-ended justifications — the absence of specific timeframes makes it difficult to know when your data will actually be deleted.

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.
  • Delete Your Data
    Email dpo@ledger.fr to request deletion of specific categories of your personal data, specifying which data types you want removed and invoking your GDPR Art. 17 right to erasure.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Without clearly defined retention periods per data category, users cannot know how long sensitive information like their shipping address or crypto activity data is held, limiting their ability to exercise erasure rights effectively.

View original clause language
Ledger will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: GDPR Art. 5(1)(e) (storage limitation principle) requires personal data be kept no longer than necessary for stated purposes. Art. 13(2)(a) requires controllers to inform data subjects of retention periods or, where not possible, the criteria used to determine them. CNIL and EDPB guidance requires specific retention schedules by data category, not generic 'as long as necessary' language.
