Therefore, you should read its content carefully if you wish to enter and use the information and services offered on the CaixaBank portal or on any of its websites.

Validity of the information and contents

The information contained on these pages is current as of the date on which it was last updated.

These conditions are valid as of the date on which they were last updated. CaixaBank reserves the right to change them at any time, in which case they will enter into force from the date of their publication and will be applicable to all users of the portal or of the websites from that date.

The contents of any of the web pages, especially the informative and publicity references, do not constitute a binding offer unless expressly stated otherwise.  CaixaBank reserves the right to make changes or partially or totally delete the current contents whenever it considers it appropriate, and may block or restrict access to said contents temporarily or permanently.

CaixaBank may include, on any of its websites, third-party contents and links to third-party websites, always with the authorisation of their owners, such as to social media and to other information. Under none of these circumstances will CaixaBank be responsible for the web pages and contents of third parties, or their functioning or availability.

Browsing and customisation

The simple browsing of CaixaBank websites is free of charge and does not require prior registration by the user. However, access, the contracting or use of some products and services may require the user to register. In this case, each of said products and services shall be governed by their own specific conditions, without prejudice to the conditions provided herein.

Some of the portals or websites may offer the user the option to customise pages, by including different types of wallpaper or by making it possible for users to configure access to their favourite products and services, making browsing and the location of the resources used efficient and practical and thus adapting them to the tastes and uses of each user.

Security

The CaixaBank portal and websites contain the necessary security and quality certifications, seals or accreditations to offer users a secure environment. However, we recommend that you consult the Security Recommendations that CaixaBank provides on its portal for all users and read them carefully.

Privacy and data protection policy

CaixaBank fully complies with current legislation on personal data protection and with the confidentiality commitments specific to banking.

CaixaBank has adopted the technical measures necessary to maintain the required level of security, according to the nature of the personal data processed and the circumstances of the processing, in order to prevent, as far as possible and always depending on the state of the technology, their alteration, loss, or unauthorised processing or access.

When customers or users are asked to fill in a form that includes personal data, they will be informed about the recipient of the data, the purpose for which the data are gathered and the identity and address of the person in charge of the file, as well as of the ability to exercise their rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition to the processing of their data.  The personal data collected will only be processed and/or disclosed for the stated purpose and always with the consent of the user or customer.

In order to always keep the information in our files up-to-date and free of errors, we ask our customers and users to notify us promptly of any changes or corrections to their personal data.

Cookie policy

CaixaBank websites use cookies, which are small data files stored on the user’s or customer’s computer that allow our systems to remember characteristics or browsing preferences on our websites that can be used to personalise access in subsequent visits, improve browsing security, collect statistical information on what users have browsed and find out their preferences.

The CaixaBank cookies policy is subject to prevailing EU and Spanish legislation concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector.  By virtue of the above, CaixaBank will inform you of the cookies it uses on each of its websites ("Information about the cookies used") and, when necessary, ask for your consent to use them.

Mobile portals and geolocation

Some of the CaixaBank websites are adapted for use on mobile devices, and therefore the presentation and contents of the various mobile applications might not accurately match or precisely reflect those of the portal or the various websites.

In addition, some websites adapted for mobile devices or applications might support geolocation features, for the purpose of determining  when users activate the feature and the location of the device at any given time. Users may therefore access the services that require geolocation and that CaixaBank has available.

Users must switch on the geolocation feature on their mobile device to access these services, which can be switched off at any time.

Prohibited and permitted uses

The use, including the reproduction, distribution, transfer to third parties, public communication or transformation of the aforementioned elements,  creations or distinctive signs in any media or format without the prior express authorisation of their respective owners is forbidden.  Failure to comply with this prohibition may constitute an offence punishable under prevailing legislation.

However, users may, at their own risk, download or copy said elements exclusively for their personal use, provided that this does not infringe on any intellectual or industrial property rights of CaixaBank. In particular, users may not alter, modify, or delete these elements, totally or partially.  Under no circumstances will this represent any authorisation or licence over the property rights of CaixaBank or companies in its group.
