CHILDREN
Our Services are designed for adults, not children under the age of 16.

If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us at WebPrivacyIssues@pape.com.
CALIFORNIA DO NOT TRACK DISCLOSURES
Do Not Track is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on the Do Not Track signal, the browser sends a message to websites requesting them not to track the user. At this time, we take no action in response to web browser "do not track" signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of Personal Information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third party websites or online services. For information about Do Not Track, visit www.allaboutdnt.org.
