LDstream ("us", "we", or "our") operates the https://ldstream.com website and platform (the "Service"). LDstream is a B2B data intelligence platform that aggregates, verifies, and delivers company database records compiled from publicly available government registries, corporate filings, public websites, and proprietary data pipelines.
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and disclose information — including personal data — in connection with operating the Service. It also explains your rights with respect to that information. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Terms used but not defined here have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service.
Personal Data means data about a living individual who can be identified from those data (or from those and other information in our possession or likely to come into our possession).
Subscriber Data means personal data that LDstream collects directly from individuals who register for and use the Service (e.g., name, email address, billing information, download history).
Database Data means business contact records included in the LDstream databases compiled from publicly available sources, including company names, contact person names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, industry classifications, employee counts, VAT codes, and related business information.
Usage Data means data collected automatically from your use of the Service, such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on pages.
Data Controller means the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. For Subscriber Data, LDstream is the Data Controller.
Data Processor means any person or entity that processes data on behalf of the Data Controller. We may use third-party service providers as Data Processors.
The core of the Service is a collection of B2B company databases organized by country. These databases contain business contact records compiled from publicly available sources, including official government business registries, corporate filing databases, public websites, and proprietary data pipelines. The types of data fields included may vary by country but can include: company name, registered address, city, postal code, province/state, phone number, mobile number, email address, website, industry sector, number of employees, contact person name, registration date, and VAT/tax identification code.
We process Database Data on the legal basis of legitimate interests (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) — specifically, the legitimate interests of our business subscribers in accessing B2B contact information for sales, marketing, and research purposes, balanced against the rights and freedoms of individuals whose information is included. We conduct legitimate interest assessments before processing this data.
Opt-out for Database Data: If your business contact information is included in our databases and you wish to request its removal, please contact us at support@ldstream.com. We will process opt-out requests within a reasonable timeframe. Note that removing your data from our databases does not affect records already downloaded by our subscribers prior to your opt-out request.

LDstream uses collected data for the following purposes:
We retain Subscriber Data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter (generally up to 2 years following account closure) to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and comply with legal obligations. Billing and transaction records are retained for the periods required by applicable tax and accounting laws (typically 5—7 years depending on jurisdiction). Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period unless needed for security or legal purposes.
Database Data is retained and updated on an ongoing basis as part of the Service. Individual records are removed upon valid opt-out requests.
Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to and maintained on servers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where data protection laws may differ. Where we transfer data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to countries not deemed adequate by the relevant authority, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or equivalent mechanisms under applicable law.
LDstream will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
If LDstream is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
LDstream may disclose your Personal Data if required by law or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency). We may also disclose data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: comply with a legal obligation; protect and defend our rights or property; prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service; protect the personal safety of users or the public; or protect against legal liability.

LDstream does not sell personal information for monetary compensation. We may share personal information with service providers acting as data processors under written agreements that restrict their use of the data.

The security of your data is important to us.

We may engage third-party companies and individuals to facilitate, provide, or improve the Service ("Service Providers"). These parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform tasks on our behalf and are contractually obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. Current Service Provider categories include: cloud infrastructure, payment processing, email delivery, analytics, and security monitoring.

Our payment processor adheres to PCI-DSS standards. The payment processor we work with is Stripe. Stripe's Privacy Policy governs how Stripe handles your payment information.
The Service may contain links to other sites not operated by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.
