3.2. With other entities of the Group

OPEN CASCADE is part of Capgemini, which is a global organization. Whilst we have distinct legal entities (e.g., country subsidiaries) in many parts of the world, our internal processes and infrastructure are international in scope and nature and generally tend to cross natinal borders.

Governmental, public and / or judicial authorities

We may also be required by laws, court decisions and / or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence to disclose your personal data. We may also disclose your personal information if we determine that, for reasons of national security, public importance or law enforcement, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.

We may also disclose Personal Information if we determine in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our rights by using available legal remedies, to apply our terms and conditions, to investigate fraud or to protect our business or users.

4. RESTRUCTURING OF ACTIVITIES

Like many organizations, OPEN CASCADE can restructure its operations around the world at any time, either by buying new businesses or by selling or merging existing businesses. These measures may lead us to disclose Personal Data to potential or existing customers or to receive Personal Data from potential sellers. Our rule is to request adequate privacy protection for the Personal Data provided in this type of transaction.

6. SECURITY AND DATA INTEGRITY

OPEN CASCADE has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure an adequate level of security regarding the risk incurred and to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

However, you should be aware that, due to the open and insecure character of the Internet, OPEN CASCADE cannot be held responsible for the security of transmissions of the personal data over the Internet.
