Accuracy

Every effort is made through a process of ongoing research and review to ensure that the information and data contained in BTRF materials and on its website is topical and accurate.

Similarly, where information is obtained from third parties BTRF uses its best endeavours to ensure that the sources and information are both authoritative and reliable.

Notwithstanding, users are advised to verify the accuracy of all and any information before relying on it. Further, due to the inherent nature of the internet, errors, interruptions and delays may occur in the service at any time. Accordingly, this web-site is provided "as is" without any warranties of any kind and BTRF cannot accept any liability, direct or indirect, arising from any inaccuracy or omission in the information or interruption in availability. In particular, no part of the site should be construed to imply any express undertakings, views, endorsements, financial and/or other commitments, policies or offers on the part of BTRF, its servants or agents or any other party cited.

The site includes a number of popularly quoted rainforest and other statistics. Due care should be taken in quoting these figures as absolute. Rather they should be used as indicative. Most figures on loss of rainforest do not, for example, factor in the degradation of remaining rainforests by logging and fire.

Third Party Sources and Acknowledgement

In keeping with BTRF's participatory and networking approach, this web-site draws significantly on external expertise and source materials. The use of these to provide authoritative perspective does not necessarily imply that the views expressed reflect those of BTRF.

Again in keeping with firm BTRF policy, external sources are referenced as far as practical and appropriate. We apologise for any oversights in this respect and would be grateful to be advised so that the relevant source may be properly acknowledged, and the site duly corrected and updated, with the least possible delay.

External Links

Links on this web-site may direct users to other web-sites. Whilst carefully selected and believed in good faith to be reliable, these links are provided solely for your potential interest and convenience. The operation and content of such third party web-sites is beyond our control and BTRF does not necessarily endorse, and cannot accept in any manner whatsoever any responsibility for, the content or other material that may be contained on such web-sites, the use of such web-sites, or any products or services advertised on or sold through any such web-sites. BTRF will not be liable under any circumstances for any damages whatsoever, direct or indirect, resulting from any use of this web-site and/or any third party web-site linked to this web-site, whether or not it has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Privacy

BTRF subscribes to the view that users have a fundamental right to privacy on the web and strives to ensure a secure and discreet on-line environment for users of its web-site.

This policy applies to all the pages hosted on www.btrf.com but, for reasons introduced in the previous section, cannot be extended to pages hosted by other organisations to which it may link and whose privacy policies may differ.

BTRF undertakes to only use your personal information for purposes for which you have consented and will not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing or other purposes without such consent.

Similarly, BTRF will not knowingly collect or store personal information from users under the age of 18. We do, however, encourage awareness of environmental, social and conservation issues on the part of young people provided it is consistent with responsible use of the internet under due parental supervision. Young people are, therefore, advised and encouraged to ask their parents or guardian before signing up on this site.

In order to protect your privacy, BTRF seeks at all times to comply with Swiss Data Protection Legislation and, generally, uses its best endeavours to ensure appropriate security procedures in the storage and disclosure of personal information so as to prevent unauthorised access by third parties. Notwithstanding, the internet is not a totally secure medium and users through their use of this site implicitly acknowledge and agree that BTRF shall not be responsible for any unauthorised use, distribution, damage or destruction of personal data, except to the extent BTRF is required to accept such responsibility by the Swiss Data Protection legislation.

At any time, users can ask us for a copy of any personal which may hold about them and/or request a correction or deletion of information. These and any other questions relating to BTRF's privacy and security policies may be addressed to contact@btrf.com

By signing on to the BTRF web-site as a donor or in any other capacity, users accept the above privacy and security policies and authorise BTRF to collect, store and process information in a manner strictly consistent with the above terms as well as the purposes, spirit and intent for which it was submitted.
