Someone already shared that news here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5469941.msg63308706#msg63308706

It's nothing strange to me, considering that various apps have an "analytics" option that collects data about how the user uses the app and a lot more that the company wants to know. The real problem is that this option is turned on by default, and those who are not aware that it exists at all are not aware that they can turn it off.

However, even if the user turns off that option, can we say with certainty that the app still does not (secretly) collect data and send it to someone for analysis?

The best option for those who have a Ledger wallet and are worried about data harvesting, is just to use another software.

For example, you don't need Ledger live to use bitcoin, you can use electrum + ledger.

You can also use Metamask + Ledger for ethereum.
