We implement various security measures to protect the security of your personal information, both on line and off line, but cannot guarantee complete security. Information collected by FAPC will be maintained for a length of time appropriate to our needs.

Choice/Opt Out

You may at any time choose to opt-out of receiving postal, e-mail, and/or telephone communications from FAPC, or from third parties with whom FAPC has shared your name, address, telephone number, and/or e-mail address. These opt-out choices are the means by which you give us, or decline to give us, your consent to use this personal information or to share it with third parties. There are three methods by which you can exercise your opt-out choices: (a) at the time you first submit such information via our website; or (b) after submission, by contacting us by e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , by telephone at (212) 247-0490, or by postal mail at: FAPC, 7 West 55th Street, New York, New York 10019. If you elect to contact us by e-mail or postal mail, please include information in your e-mail or letter that will help us identify you so that we can most expeditiously respond to you.

Please note that, if you do not exercise one or more of your opt-out choices when you first submit personal information to FAPC via our website, it may take us some time to fully effect your opt-out choices. This is because our systems require time to update, and postal, e-mail, and telephone communications using information shared by you before your opt-out may already be works in process. Thus, you might continue to receive postal, e-mail, or telephone communications from us or a third party based upon the personal information you have provided under this Privacy Policy for a short time after you changed your opt-out choice(s). For similar reasons, your personal information might continue to be shared with third parties for a short time after you change your opt-out choice(s).
