Here is the info right from the site:

Information Sharing

ePassporte and 24-7 ensure that your Personal Information will not be disclosed to anyone other than a government institution or authority when required by law or other regulation, except they may disclose your Personal Information to the following parties (?Third Parties?):
- ePassporte's affiliated Merchant Bank and card processors as required to issue pre-paid card and process transactions on a pre-paid card;
- Website owners/operators from which you are purchasing goods and services using ePassporte.

In addition, ePassporte and 24-7 may disclose your user name, name, address, phone number, and e-mail address to non-financial companies, such as companies that perform marketing services on ePassporte?s behalf and retailers with whom ePassporte has a contractual relationship ("Nonaffiliated Third Parties") to provide you information, special offers, and promotions. You may opt-out from these disclosures at any time by following the Opt-Out procedure below.

CHOICE

You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to ePassporte. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information ePassporte requests, you can still visit most of ePassporte's Website, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve ePassporte's interaction with you. If you chose to have a relationship with ePassporte, such as a contractual or other business relationship or partnership, you will be required to provide Personal Information in connection with such relationship in order to maintain that relationship.

OPT-OUT

If you prefer that ePassporte and 24-7 not disclose non-public Personal Information about you to Nonaffiliated Third Parties, you may opt out of those disclosures, that is, you may direct ePassporte and 24-7 not to make those disclosures (other than disclosures permitted by law). If you wish to opt out of disclosures to Nonaffiliated Third Parties, you may opt-out at www.epassporte.com when you login to your ePassporte Account. Please note that this opt-out process may take up to thirty (30) days to complete.

So it looks like they may sometimes sell our name and email to companies and that if you want to opt out of that you may do so. The fee is like V-Rocks says and only is in effect if you want them to send you copies of what they have on file.
