Privacy Policy

Data Collection

Crypto Ledger Security services collect limited categories of personal data necessary for providing security functionality and evaluation resources while maintaining the protection and privacy expectations of cryptocurrency users who specifically choose hardware wallet security for their assets.

Security evaluation data includes anonymized information about comparison page visits, security documentation access patterns, and risk assessment tool usage when users engage with evaluation resources. This data supports content improvement without identifying individual users or their specific holdings.

Hardware wallet data includes device model identifiers, firmware versions, secure element attestation results, and genuine check verification records when users connect devices via USB-C or Bluetooth. This data enables device authenticity confirmation and appropriate software interface display without transmitting private keys or recovery phrases.

Transaction construction data includes public addresses and proposed transaction parameters needed to build transactions for hardware signing. This data is processed only during active transaction construction and is not retained after transactions complete.

Application usage data includes anonymized information about feature usage patterns when users opt into analytics. This data supports software improvement without identifying individual users or their specific holdings.

Support interaction data includes information users provide when submitting security-related inquiries through official channels. This data is necessary for providing accurate guidance and resolving reported issues.

Website visitor data comprises standard server logs including IP addresses, browser types, pages visited, and timestamps. This data supports security monitoring, abuse prevention, and content improvement analysis.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Crypto Ledger websites use cookies and similar technologies for functionality and analysis purposes with user control over non-essential categories.

Essential cookies enable core website functions including navigation, session management, download initiation, and security features. These cookies are strictly necessary for proper website operation and cannot be disabled without affecting functionality. Essential cookies do not track users across websites or collect information for advertising purposes.

Analytics cookies collect anonymized website usage data including security evaluation page visits, comparison tool usage patterns, and navigation sequences. These cookies support content improvement and user experience optimization. Analytics cookies can be disabled through the consent interface presented on first visit without affecting security functionality.

Preference cookies remember user selections including display preferences, language settings, and interface configurations. These cookies improve user experience by reducing repetitive selections and can be managed through browser settings or the consent interface.

Cookie consent preferences persist for 13 months before requiring renewal, in compliance with applicable regulations. Users can modify preferences at any time through settings links available in website footers.

Analytics and Performance Monitoring

Crypto Ledger Security uses analytics to understand content effectiveness and security evaluation patterns while maintaining user privacy through aggregation and anonymization practices.

Content analytics track anonymous patterns of security documentation visits, comparison page engagement, and evaluation tool usage. This data helps prioritize content development and identify areas needing improvement without identifying individual users or their specific holdings.

Security evaluation analytics aggregate anonymous patterns of risk assessment engagement, trust verification tool usage, and security summary access. This information improves evaluation resources for the user community.

Application analytics operate through opt-in telemetry that users enable or disable during initial setup. Enabled telemetry collects anonymized events while users declining analytics transmit no telemetry data whatsoever, with no functional penalties or feature restrictions.

Analytics data retention follows a 26-month rolling period aligning with typical content development cycles. After this period, aggregated trend data archives for historical comparison while raw event data undergoes permanent deletion from all systems.

Third-Party Tools and Services

Crypto Ledger Security integrates with third-party services for specific functions with data sharing governed by respective service privacy policies and data processing agreements.

Genuine check services verify hardware wallet authenticity through secure attestation protocols. This verification communicates with Ledger security infrastructure to confirm device integrity without transmitting private keys, recovery phrases, or balance information.

Blockchain network nodes receive transaction data when users broadcast signed transactions through the companion software. This data is inherently public on blockchain networks and is required for transaction processing across all supported coins.

Content delivery networks distribute security documentation and software downloads globally through distributed infrastructure. These services process requests without accessing security-sensitive data or user-identifying information beyond standard server logs.

Cloud infrastructure providers host backend services under data processing agreements requiring compliance with applicable data protection regulations including GDPR requirements.

Data Security

Crypto Ledger Security implements comprehensive technical and organizational security measures protecting user data throughout collection, processing, and storage operations.

Security measures include TLS 1.3 encryption for all data transmission protecting against interception, hardware secure element protection preventing private key extraction, firmware signature validation blocking unauthorized code, genuine check verification detecting counterfeit devices, access controls restricting employee data access to authorized personnel, regular security audits conducted by independent third-party firms, and incident response procedures for identifying and addressing potential breaches.

Data Retention

Crypto Ledger Security retains personal data only for durations necessary to fulfill stated purposes, applying appropriate deletion schedules to different data categories.

Website server logs are retained for 90 days supporting security monitoring and abuse investigation, then permanently deleted from all systems. Analytics data follows 26-month rolling retention for content analysis, with subsequent archival of aggregated trends and deletion of raw event data. Security evaluation interaction data follows similar retention schedules.

Genuine check records are retained for 18 months supporting security verification and counterfeit tracking. Support tickets are retained for 3 years following last interaction, enabling follow-up assistance and pattern identification. Cookie consent records follow 13-month retention per regulatory guidelines.

Users can request data deletion subject to legal retention requirements through the support portal. Deletion requests require identity verification before processing to prevent unauthorized access to deletion capabilities.

User Rights

Depending on jurisdiction, users may exercise rights regarding personal data including access to personal data held about them, correction of inaccurate or incomplete data, deletion of personal data subject to legal retention requirements, restriction of data processing, data portability in structured machine-readable formats, objection to processing based on legitimate interests, and withdrawal of consent for consent-based processing without affecting prior processing legality.

Rights requests can be submitted through the support portal at support.ledger.com. Identity verification may be required before processing to prevent unauthorized access to personal data or exercise of deletion rights. Responses are provided within 30 days or within shorter timeframes required by applicable law in specific jurisdictions.

International Transfers

Data may be transferred internationally for processing by service providers and infrastructure partners located outside the user's jurisdiction to enable global service delivery. Such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by relevant regulatory authorities, adequacy decisions recognizing equivalent data protection standards in destination countries, and binding corporate rules where applicable.
