Following public scrutiny, Nanoleaf released a firmware update (version 5.2.1)<ref>https://helpdesk.nanoleaf.me/en-US/light-panels-firmware-release-notes-15633 ([http://web.archive.org/web/20250419175710/https://helpdesk.nanoleaf.me/en-US/light-panels-firmware-release-notes-15633 Archived])</ref> for the original Nanoleaf Aurora panels, which were discontinued two years prior. This update appears to disable the data collection behavior, however it remains unconfirmed whether newer, currently sold models have also had this telemetry removed. | Following public scrutiny, Nanoleaf released a firmware update (version 5.2.1)<ref>https://helpdesk.nanoleaf.me/en-US/light-panels-firmware-release-notes-15633 ([http://web.archive.org/web/20250419175710/https://helpdesk.nanoleaf.me/en-US/light-panels-firmware-release-notes-15633 Archived])</ref> for the original Nanoleaf Aurora panels, which were discontinued two years prior.
