If you are still using ledger live application with your ledger hardware wallet, than I you should really think again about it.
In reality it's impossible to update your device without ledger live application that can be only used on computer, so you are stuck with it at least partially.

You should know what data ledger live collects from users and for how long, because they are not even hiding it, as you can see in their privacy policy page below.
Device session identifier, IP address, clicks, actions, language and region for your operating system, transactions, etc.
They are keeping all this data for ''legal'' reasons and retention period is five years, and they share customer data with their partners.
Knowing that ledger and their partners were hacked and data leaked multiple times, I think it's crazy for anyone to trust ledger with your data for years.

What's even worse is that Ledger chairman and co-founder murzika publicly lies how they don't collect IP addresses.
So now we have proof and confirmation that people who own and work in ledger are liars:

Best solution for this is to stop using ledger wallet, but temporary fix would be mandatory use of Tor or some good open source vpn like Mullvad.
Don't trust my words, and do your own research about this.
