In addition, where applicable, you may have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests and to withdraw consent where consent forms the legal basis for processing. These rights may be limited, for example, if fulfilling a request would reveal Personal Data about another person, or if the processing is required by law or another compelling legitimate interest.

FIS reserves the right, where permitted by law, to verify your identity, and to refuse such requests where appropriate.
