Thanks Mr. CEO. Or you could let me opt out but I guess you're not going to do that. I hope people keep a very close eye on this. And using one with Electrum or Mycelium may be made harder too.
With their talk of partnering with operations like Google I see the future of hardware wallets, or at least this one, as retrogressive and heading towards the same old shit.

I totally disagree with you.
Information being gathered:
OS: Name, Version, language, region
LedgerLive: Version, language, region and an anonymous unique identifier
The only thing which can be somewhat critical is the anonymized identifier. But, as already mentioned, you can easily just remove that lines of code. HCP even linked the file of the code.
IMO those information are extremely basic. If you have used the google chrome application, you have given WAY more information away (and not just to ledger, but mostly to google).
And google already made money off these information.
There is no possibility to tie this gathered data to your real-life personality (unless someone reverse engineers your PC and looks for the unique identifier, and then afterwards asks ledger about all information tied to this identifier).
Those are really some very basic information.
Each website you are using gatheres WAY more (e.g. most critical: IP addresses).
