SECURITY POLICY
Blackstone employs advanced information security technologies and procedures consistent with industry best practices to protect your personal information from unauthorized access. Wherever we collect sensitive information, such as payment card data, that information is encrypted and transmitted to us using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts the information you input. We also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (such as billing or customer service) are granted access to PII. The computer systems in which we store PII are kept in a secure environment.
To help prevent your personal information from being viewed by others, it is important that you protect your login password and your computer against unauthorized access. Your password helps protect your account and personal information. You are not to share or allow others to use your login password. It is your responsibility to keep your password confidential and make sure you log out before leaving the Site.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, although we strive to protect your PII, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us through or in connection with this Site or that is stored by us. You acknowledge and agree that any information you transmit through the Site is so transmitted at your own risk. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), you must immediately notify us by contacting us at the phone number or email address provided in the Contacting Blackstone section below.
