Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo's main landing site has a General Terms of Use and Digital Privacy and Cookies Policy​ that govern. Additional policies may apply for specific Wells Fargo users but these two agreements apply to any visitor to the site. There is a limit on any liability from misuse and fairly broad sharing agreement in place. Notably, the most recent update to the policy took place in March of 2017, and the settlement for fraudulently opened accounts covers accounts created up until April of 2017.
