How much EXIF information is tracked by photo sharing sites?
How much EXIF information is tracked by photo sharing sites?
http://regex.info/exif.cgi I often post photos to photo-sharing sites, whether for the purpose of social networking (pinterest, facebook, etc) or for Usenet posts (tinypic, flickr, etc) or for personal sharing (iCloud, dropbox, google drive, etc). The EXIF, as you know, can reveal exactly where and when the photo was taken, and even what camera was used, and, of course, the time and date, etc, the combination of which could easily reveal intensely personal information. When I DOWNLOAD those pictures, generally (always?) the EXIF information seems to be stripped out. But ... how much of that personal EXIF information is retained by the web site (and used for their possibly nefarious purposes)? |
