Something has happened along the years.  The moderator's answer is four years old and the Privacy Policy has been archived today.  Right?

I think what happened is governments put a particular pressure on everything related to Cryptocurrency.  Exchanges, ATM's, wallets, all of it.  See how quickly Know Your Customer became the norm, how quickly Anti Money Laundering became the excuse to remove privacy, how quickly data collection became a general thing.  Ledger is a company and they are part of this too.

I expect this was a government's plan that went two ways.  Ledger either got paid well for doing this or they were just pressured enough to accept the data collection and move on with it now being part of Live.  Every company that is collecting information from Cryptocurrency users for 'legal reasons'.  All this data must be going somewhere.

At this point.  All we have left is fully Open Source and decentralized software and hardware.  This is the way we have to follow.  Purchase Open Source hardware and move away from Closed Source software.  It is clear to me now that any custodial wallet and any Closed Source software is going to collect and sell information about you.  Fuck that.  If we all spent our resources on creating the best of the best Open Source and fully decentralized tools and apps for Cryptocurrencies, we would have our own exchange with Binance like volume and user base.

But even then.  We have some like Wasabi that just turn bad over time.  But if something is Open Source, it can be forked after all.  Fuck data collection.  Fuck hidden interests and plans that are against you.  You are paying someone to sell your information.  All of this is getting clustered up somewhere and it is definitely not your HDD.
