BFP in no way endorses the products or services of these advertisers. When a User selects to receive one of our partner's offers, they are agreeing to receive information from that advertiser. As part of this advertising program, BFP will provide the advertiser with the required information required to fulfill the Users request. This includes, but is not limited to name, postal address, email address, and phone number. Under no circumstance will BFP provide an advertiser with any credit card information from our Users.

These email addresses are collected and maintained in a separate file in our database. These individuals will not receive future emails from BFP, including free email newsletters, advertisements directly from BFP, or advertisements from third party advertisers sent on our behalf. Email addresses on this list will not receive future email messages from our firm. Subscribers are encouraged to make sure that the address receiving emails from BFP is in fact the same address in our database by clicking the unique URL at the end of an email message from our firm, or forwarding the received email communication to our customer service department so that we may see which email address was the recipient of an email from our firm.
