Responsible Disclosure Policy

We at Best Buy work hard every day to enrich the lives of consumers through technology, whether they come to us online, visit our stores or invite us into their homes. Best Buy is committed to protecting our customer data. No technology is perfect, and Best Buy believes that working with skilled security researchers is crucial in identifying weaknesses in any technology. If you believe you’ve found a security issue in our product or service, we encourage you to notify us. We welcome working with you to resolve the issue promptly.

For any activity you conduct in compliance with this policy, Best Buy will not initiate legal action against you.
