Honest question: Does anyone really care about seeing photos and bios of people in the company? I don't think I've ever looked that information up, even if I pay that company money. I agree though that there should be some kind of about page on the site. They also need to list their privacy policy and possibly a terms of use page as well.

Honest answer: yes, I care. Like the privacy policy and terms of use, executive photos and bios are one of my 'this is a real company and therefore it's safe to pay them money' filters. It's not as important as things like SSL on the login page or not sending back my password in plaintext, but it still matters.
Honest answer: I also care. It's not like we are trying to hide something. Most of the time Octav it's available on the Live Chat and we write individual emails to all the users that signup for the service. As side note security is really important for us and we are taking all the measures needed to ensure data privacy.
Yes I think it's important. Nice to see the people behind a site, so it's not just a faceless organisation.
Yes, it's important to know who you're dealing with, who you're giving business information to.
I check that all the time.
