Ledger Live Tracks and Sends ALL User Information to Outsourced Data Harvesting Service
"The tracking code is too structural to be just counting users and downloads, like regular apps do. Ledger Live is doing analytics on everything from screen views, to button clicks, error events, installs, uninstalls, etc. It's basically tracking everything. Anything you do on that app gets tracked."

Maybe you would like to change and try @Blockstream or Coinkite or any other things better than Ledger.

🤬 Was about to install the damn thing. Would be useful to explain how to opt-out from sharing analytics? Gonna take a look
Ledger has admitted they can access your private keys. Don't store anything on there.
A Ledger spokesperson refuted that, saying, “Customers can create an encrypted backup of their private keys which is then sharded and encrypted further […] The private key can only be decrypted and reconstituted on a Ledger’s secure element chip, just as it is initially encrypted and fragmented there. Ledger cannot and does not access users’ private keys.”
Yes and the CEO said if they receive a government subpoena they can decrypt the shards and hand over your coins.
Also, their software is closed source so there is no way to verify it is doing what they say it is doing.
Ledger is not cold storage.
Glad they don't have such a device at Ledger HQ. /s
Glad I stopped using them. Don't know what to do with all my ledger nanos though.
Sell them on ebay. People aren't so smart enough to miss this great opportunity.
Don't use Ledger if you can avoid it. Every bit of news about these guys is worst than the last.
If you do own a Ledger or know someone who does, and aren't in a position to get a better device, at least set it up in the best way possible, avoiding Ledger live.
There is a great article by arman the parman that walks you through this process. You only use Ledger live initially to download the Bitcoin app, then you never touch it again. Then you set up a fresh Bitcoin wallet offline and connect to sparrow wallet.

it's all to improve UI/UX and quality of product
What is the best cold wallet?
Ultimately the best one is for you to decide based on the needs and wants it satisfies.
Big surprise!
The company that admits they can access your private keys also collects sensitive data.
Who could have guessed!
If you're using a closed source hardware wallet and app to store your Bitcoin, you're doing it wrong
Ledger is a TERRIBLE product and company for so many reasons, I've lost count.
Braindead shitcoiners using this piece of 💩 is expected. But Bitcoiners should know better, and need to remember history.

How does this effect those using the Ledger Hardware wallet without using Ledger Live?

Yup. I ditched mine a year ago.
For those who don't know...Coldcard + Sparrow FTW
After you make that move, improve upon it via:
- Umbrel node (on Raz Pi)
- Bitcoin node on umbrel
- Electrum server on umbrel
- Sparrow gets data from Electrum server
Now you can access the blockchain more privately thru your Sparrow wallet.
