Don't use Ledger if you can avoid it. Every bit of news about these guys is worst than the last.

If you do own a Ledger or know someone who does, and aren't in a position to get a better device, at least set it up in the best way possible, avoiding Ledger live.

There is a great article by arman the parman that walks you through this process. You only use Ledger live initially to download the Bitcoin app, then you never touch it again. Then you set up a fresh Bitcoin wallet offline and connect to sparrow wallet.

Ledger Live Tracks and Sends ALL User Information to Outsourced Data Harvesting Service

"The tracking code is too structural to be just counting users and downloads, like regular apps do. Ledger Live is doing analytics on everything from screen views, to button clicks, error events, installs, uninstalls, etc. It's basically tracking everything. Anything you do on that app gets tracked."
