The Spanish DPA has imposed a fine on CAIXABANK, S.A. A person filed a complaint with the DPA because they were asked to fill out a form with personal data. A clause on the form included consent for the data to be transferred to the General Treasury of Social Security, without the option to refuse consent. The original fine of EUR 2,000,000 was reduced to EUR 1,200,000 due to immediate payment and acknowledgement of responsibility.
