Secure Shopping

Blue Nile Shopping Security at a Glance 

At Blue Nile, we take our customers’ security and privacy seriously and use the latest technology to keep your information safe, including: 

- SSL encryption

- Secure payment processing

- No third-party data selling

- Safe phone orders

At Blue Nile, we want our customers to shop worry-free, knowing that their financial information is secure and private. When you make a Blue Nile purchase, we may collect payment-related information, depending on the U.S. payment method or international payment method you choose.

We keep this information safe and will never sell or share this data. 

When you use your credit card to make a purchase through our shopping basket, we protect the information you provide using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. 

This technology ensures that your personal information is protected from unauthorized parties when it is transmitted from your computer to our server. 

SSL does the following to keep your data secure: 

- Encrypts sensitive information, such as financial transactions, personal data and login credentials 

- Authenticates web servers, preventing connections to fraudulent websites

- Prevents information from being modified during transit 

Data encryption turns your personal information into a garbled mix of characters that is almost impossible to decipher. This means that if anyone intercepts your data as it moves across the internet from you to Blue Nile, they won’t be able to read it or steal your information.

SSL encryption is a multi-step process. It ensures transaction security by: 

1. Encrypting your data into an unreadable combination of characters 

2. Authenticating the transaction using a process called a “handshake” that verifies the devices on both ends 

3. Digitally signing data to verify it was not tampered with, providing data integrity 

If you would prefer to make your Blue Nile purchases over the phone, you can contact one of our jewelry and diamond experts. They will be happy to answer any questions you may have and to process your secure payment. Please call us at 1-800-242-2728.

You can place a telephone order with our jewelry and diamond experts using your credit card. They can also assist you in arranging for a bank wire transfer.

Secure Handling of Payment Information 

Our diamond experts follow strict security protocols when collecting payment information over the phone. Blue Nile limits access to this data, and, as with financial information entered online, we will never sell or share it. Learn more about our privacy policy.
