BTL understands the importance of privacy and confidentiality to users of its site.  BTL may provide the information it collects through this site to third parties who provide services on BTL's behalf.  For example, we use one or more third-party financial institutions to process our credit card transactions.  They receive the credit card number and other personal information of our donors only to verify credit card numbers and to process credit card transactions in a secure environment.  We also occasionally hire other companies to perform limited services on our behalf.  We only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service and prohibit them from using that information for any other purpose.  Aggregated, depersonalized traffic data is shared with certain advertisers to optimize campaigns.
