Your privacy is a top priority at Blackstone Industries, which is also known as (“dba”): Foredom Electric Co., Olson Saw Co., Edge Finisher Co., Zona Tool Co.

If you shop at Blackstone Industries, LLC. and place your orders exclusively through Blackstone Industries, LLC., any and all information collected on this site will be kept strictly confidential and will not be sold, disclosed to third parties or reused without your permission. Any personal information that you may share with us will be held with care and will not be used in ways that you have not consented to.

What information do we collect?

We collect two types of information about visitors: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our site. To learn how we keep your personal information safe and secure, please see our SECURITY STATEMENT (below).

Personally Identifiable Information
This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. Personal information is requested when you: order a product, request a catalog, and send us feedback. For example, this information might include your name, billing address, shipping address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other payment information, and product details. With this information, Blackstone Industries, LLC..com can fill your orders and better provide you with personalized services.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information
This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where you shop on our site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. For example, this information may include the Web site’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (“TCP/IP”) network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination.

In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.

How do we use the information?

Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide Blackstone Industries, LLC. visitors with a superior customized online experience. We use the customer contact information to fill orders, contact purchasers to inform them of their order status, to send promotional information, to enhance the operation of our site and administer our systems. We use cookies in the operation of our site; to find out what cookies are and how they are used, please review the information below.

How to update or correct your Information?

We believe you should have the ability to access and edit the personal information that you have provided to us. During the online ordering process you can review, change, or delete the information that you have submitted. You may change any of your personal information in your account online at any time. We encourage you to promptly update your information if it changes. You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed; however, because we keep track of past purchases, you cannot delete information associated with past purchases. Also, as a security measure we “back up” the data stored on our systems, and such prior information cannot be completely removed from our databases. As a result, you should not expect that all of your Personally Identifiable Information will be completely removed from our backed-up databases.
