In the event that Gibault Group uses the services of a third-party provider to host and store the Personal Information it collects, this third-party provider may be located in Canada, the United States, Europe, and/or any other country in which we, our affiliates, or the service providers we use operate. By these presents, you consent to the transfer of information, including Personal Information, to jurisdictions other than your jurisdiction of residence, where data protection rules may differ from those in your jurisdiction of residence, for data hosting purposes, and Gibault Group will hold companies outside your jurisdiction of residence accountable, under applicable law, for all Personal Information that may be transferred to them. Gibault Group undertakes to comply with all its obligations under applicable law during any such cross-border transfer of your Personal Information.
However, despite Gibault Group’s practices and procedures regarding the protection of Personal Information, please note that no method of Internet transmission or data storage is completely secure, and no security measure can prevent all potential security breaches. Therefore, you agree not to hold Gibault Group, its past, present, or future employees, managers, directors, contractors, consultants, shareholders, suppliers, parent or affiliated companies, agents or representatives, predecessors, successors (hereinafter collectively the “Parties”), responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, resulting directly or indirectly from the misappropriation, interception, alteration, deletion, unauthorized access to Personal Information, or a data breach concerning Personal Information provided through our Websites.
