This Website Privacy Policy is issued by Louis Dreyfus Commodities 7344 SR 15 South, Claypool, Indiana 46510, as operator of this site on behalf of itself and each of the companies in the Louis Dreyfus Commodities Group of companies (“LDC” or “We”).
This Website Privacy Policy (together with our Terms of Use and any other documents referred to in it) explains the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Data (as defined below) through our websites located at the following URL: www.ldcom.com (“our site”). We have developed this policy because we want you to feel confident about the privacy and security of your Personal Data held by us.
Please read the following carefully to understand our practices regarding your Personal Data and how we will treat it.
“Personal Data” means any information relating to you that would allow a party to identify you as an individual or to contact you, including, for example, your full name, address, telephone number, or email address.
We collect and use your Personal Data carefully, only to perform our own services and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.
If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
In addition, we may collect and use Personal Data about you collected and provided by our business partners insofar and as long as it is necessary to perform our services.
We will use your Personal Data to perform our own services only. Use of your Personal Data by our business partners is allowed insofar and as long as it is necessary to perform our services. For example, we may provide your Personal Data to an external recruitment agency who we contract with to co-ordinate and manage any recruitment exercise on our behalf.
We may collect information about your computer, including where available your internet protocol (“IP”) address, operating system and browser type, for system administration. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the internet. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server, administer our site, analyze trends, track users’ movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use in order for us to improve our site.
We do use cookies that are vital for the basic functionality of the website. A cookie is a small data file that our server sends to your browser when you visit the site. Cookies will only be stored to improve the performance of the site in order to retrieve data in the most effective way and notify the user of previous activities. You can delete cookies at any time or you can set your browser to reject or disable cookies. If you are unsure how to do this, follow this link where you will find instructions for many of the most popular web browsers: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/stop-cookies-installed.html.
Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any Personal Data while on our site.
We store your Personal Data carefully. We have implemented, and follow, industry standard measures to protect against unauthorized access to, and unlawful interception or processing of, Personal Data. The transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our utmost to protect your Personal Data, we unfortunately cannot guarantee the absolute security of any data transmitted via our website. Any transmission shall therefore be at your own risk. Once we have received your Personal Information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.
We may disclose your Personal Data to any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding parent company and its subsidiaries and/or affiliates. Furthermore, we may disclose your Personal Data to our business partners insofar and as long it is necessary to perform our services. We oblige our business partners to assume and apply the same rights and obligations regarding your Personal Data as described in this Website Privacy Policy.
Other than previously specified in this Website Privacy Policy, we may also disclose your Personal Data to third parties in the following circumstances:
(a) In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your Personal Data or part of it, to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.
(b) If we become part of another organization, such organization will possess the Personal Data collected by us, and it will apply and assume the same rights and obligations regarding your Personal Data as described in this Website Privacy Policy.
(c) If we are under a duty to disclose or share your Personal Data, or part of it, in order to comply with any applicable legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our customers, or others.
The time period for which we shall retain and keep Personal Data varies according to various statutes and what the information is used for. In some cases, there are legal requirements to keep data for a minimum period of time. Unless there is a specific legal requirement for us to retain and keep the information, we will retain and keep it only insofar and as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which the data was collected or for which it is to be further processed.

We collect non-personal information from your computer, such as your Web browser, the date and time of your website visit, the Web address from which you accessed our site, the number of visitors to the site, the pages viewed, and the length of time on the Web site.
We collect data to analyze the website in general, to gain insights into how to improve our services and to target our marketing measures to your identifiable needs. You have the right to ask us not to process your Personal Data for our marketing purposes. We will inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for our own marketing purposes.
