Whenever you give MusicGiants sensitive information (e.g., credit card numbers), MusicGiants will take commercially reasonable steps to protect such information by establishing a secure connection with your Web browser.

Remember to sign out of your MusicGiants Account, and close your browser window whenever you leave your computer, SoundVault, or other device running the MusicGiants Network software. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information, because your computer may be accessible to others or used in a shared setting.
