Your data is an asset

Details about you are worth $$$

DANGER:

When you take a photo, you may want to remove the "EXIF" metadata

Especially as it shows the exact longitudinal and latitudinal co-ordinates of where you took your picture

Here are some tips

If you have a photo you want to upload or send from your desktop / laptop, create a version that wipes this data:

- right click the pic, select properties
- click Details tab and click "remove properties.." option at bottom
- Click OK to wipe all and create a clean copy

If sharing a pic via iPhone, you can toggle off location data by:
- click the share icon
- at top you will see "location included"
- next to that, click "Options"
- scroll down to turn OFF & #39;location& #39;

*Note that this only works if you share using the iOS Photos app

Android users may need to use an app

But if you Android users know a quicker way, let us know!

Note that social media platforms claim that when you upload photos, it strips the EXIF metadata

But why take a chance?

Your personal information is sacred and valuable!
