Terms of use

The rules for using El Pleno. You accept them when you use the site or create an account.

Last updated:

1. What El Pleno is

El Pleno is a free, nonprofit information service. Ismael Arenzana runs it as a personal project with no economic activity (see the legal notice). It explains public data about the Spanish Cortes Generales in plain words.

2. Not advice

What El Pleno publishes is general information. It is not legal, political, tax or professional advice of any kind, nor a voting recommendation. For decisions that affect you, check the official text and, if needed, a professional.

3. Not connected to any institution or party

El Pleno is not an official site. It has no connection with the Congress of Deputies, the Senate, the Official State Gazette, the Government or any political party, and none of them endorses or funds it. Their names are used only to cite where the data comes from.

4. Official data, as published

Data about bills, votes, procedures and representatives is reproduced as published by the official sources, with a link to each one and the date of the last download. It may contain errors or delays at the source or when we process it. The official text always prevails over what El Pleno shows.

5. AI-generated content

Summaries, clear names and translations are made with the help of artificial intelligence. We always say so, and anything nobody has reviewed carries the “automatic” label. It may contain errors or omissions: it helps you understand, but it does not replace the official text. How we do it is in method and the editorial principles.

6. No warranties

We take care, but El Pleno is provided as is and as available. We do not warrant that the information is accurate, complete or current, or that the site will work without interruptions or errors. We may change, suspend or close any part of the service.

7. Your account

  • You must be 14 or older.
  • The account is personal. You sign in with your passkeys and you are responsible for what is done with them: look after them as you look after your phone or computer.
  • Following something needs your separate permission, because it may reveal your political opinions.
  • You can download your data and delete your account at any time, from Account.

8. Your use and what you share

You are responsible for how you use El Pleno and for what you share or publish based on it (links, cards, screenshots, quotes or API data), including the context you put it in. You may read, quote and link freely. You may not:

  • download the site in bulk or automatically without permission (for bulk data, use the official sources, or the API once we publish it, under its terms);
  • try to get into other people’s accounts, get around the limits, probe for security flaws without telling us, or attack the site;
  • impersonate El Pleno or anyone else, present El Pleno as an official site, or alter its data or text and present it as ours;
  • use El Pleno for anything illegal or that infringes other people’s rights.

9. Suspending accounts and keys

We may suspend or close an account, or an API key, that breaks these terms or puts the service or other people at risk. We will warn you first when possible and give the reason. If you disagree, write to us and we will review it.

10. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the controller of El Pleno is not liable for damages arising from errors or omissions in the data or the text, from service interruptions, from how the information is used, or from decisions made based on it.

This limitation does not apply to damage caused by willful misconduct or gross negligence, for which liability cannot be excluded (Article 1102 of the Spanish Civil Code), nor to any other liability the law does not allow to be limited. Nor does it limit the rights the law gives you as a consumer.

11. Errors and corrections

If you see a mistake, or believe something harms you, tell us: the procedure, with its deadlines, is in corrections and right of reply.

12. Changes and shutdown

We may change these terms. If the change is important, we will announce it on the site before it applies. If El Pleno shut down, we would announce it at least 30 days in advance so you can download your data, and then we would delete all accounts.

13. Law and courts

These terms are governed by Spanish law. If you are a consumer, you may go to the courts where you live. If you are not, the courts that the law determines.

14. If a clause is invalid

If a court declares any part of these terms void, the rest remains in force, and that part is replaced by the closest valid one under the law.
