CaixaBank EUR 6 million GDPR fine for unlawful processing and inadequate information

Summary

Spain's Data Protection Agency imposed two fines totalling EUR 6 million on CaixaBank in 2021 for GDPR violations concerning information provided to customers, the legal basis and consent for personal-data processing, and data-sharing practices. The AEPD found that CaixaBank's information was insufficient and that aspects of its processing lacked a valid legal basis or adequate consent. The sanction arose from AEPD proceeding PS/00477/2019.
