Developer says Ledger wallets send transaction data to the manufacturer

Key takeaways
- A developer said Ledger hardware wallets transmit transaction data to the company, CriptoNoticias reported.
- Ledger said the transmission is part of its clear-signing function.
- Ledger said it does not keep that information in its database.
- The report did not identify the developer or say which wallet models are involved.
What the developer said
A developer has warned that Ledger hardware wallets send transaction data to the manufacturer, according to a report by CriptoNoticias published on 12 November 2026. The report did not name the developer or specify which wallet models or software versions are affected.
Hardware wallets are devices that store a user's private keys offline and sign transactions on the device. The claim concerns data sent outward from the wallet, not the storage of keys.
Ledger's response
Ledger responded that the transmission is part of its clear-signing feature, CriptoNoticias reported. Clear signing is a function in which a wallet displays a transaction's details in readable form so the user can check what they are approving before signing.
According to the same report, Ledger said it does not store that information in its database. The company did not, in the account given by CriptoNoticias, specify what data is transmitted, how long it is retained outside its database, or whether users can turn the feature off.
CriptoNoticias did not publish the developer's technical evidence or Ledger's full statement. It is not yet known which transactions or wallet versions the warning covers, and neither side's claims have been independently verified in the report.
