Espresso Photo is committed to providing you with a safe and private environment to upload, share and print your photos. All of your photos are protected and are not visible to others unless you explicitly share them. To invite visitors to see your photos, click on the "Share" tab and follow the instructions provided. Espresso Photo will send an email to your list of invitees containing the URL to your album. Please note that your invitees can then forward the email containing the URL to other parties, if they choose.

Espresso Photo uses the email addresses provided (including those you share) only to facilitate your photo sharing activities and for no other purpose. Espresso Photo will not use the addresses described in this section for any other purpose and will not disclose the addresses you provide to any third party. We do not log or record the email addresses that you send a "Share" invitation to.

Information You Provide: In order to establish your account or to place any orders for prints or other products provided through the Espresso Photo service, you will be asked to provide certain personally identifiable information to us, such as your name, mailing and email address, phone number, and a credit card number and expiration date. We will use that information to send you prints and to process and communicate with you concerning any order you may submit. In any event, we will not share your personally identifiable information with any other third parties without giving you the opportunity to opt-out, except as expressly described in the "Third Party Service Providers" section of this Privacy Statement.

We use aggregate non-personal information (i.e. information that does not include personally identifiable data) for statistical analysis of user behavior, product development, content improvement and marketing, promotional and advertising purposes. We will not make that aggregate non-personal information available to third party partners.

After 30 days, your personal information is automatically purged from our server. Currently Espresso Photo does not offer album sharing or long term accounts. To facilitate this purge of information and provide full privacy our customers need to re-renter their contact and payment information each time they place a new order.
