LTC: Litecoin is public like Bitcoin: amounts and addresses are on the ledger.
BTC: Every Bitcoin payment is public: the amount and both addresses stay on the ledger for anyone to read.
Both are public ledgers built the same way. The bitcoin comes from our payout, so your Litecoin and Bitcoin addresses never pay each other.
