Thule BGTL as an ETOPS alternate

I have recently started ETOPS operations across the Atlantic and although not in our part C as an ETOPS alternate it is often the only airfield within an hour.

An ex Qatar colleague told me that they were only allowed to use it if the aircraft was in serious trouble (not for medical emergencies) and even then a stack of precautions (no photos, blinds down, no pax allowed to leave aircraft etc).

I can't see this written anywhere...any info much appreciated.
