COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
The provision of personal information to Espresso Republic® means that you agree and consent that we may collect, use and share your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy.

In most cases, and subject to legal and contractual restrictions, an individual is free to refuse or withdraw his or her consent at any time upon reasonable, advance notice. It should be noted that in some circumstances, certain Espresso Republic® products and services can only be offered if a person provides personal information to Espresso Republic®. If you choose not provide us with any required personal information, we may not be able to offer the products or services requested. We will inform you of the consequences of the withdrawal of consent.
