<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy_K, post: 1479000, member: 23248&quot;]The bad news is that all cameras store some EXIF data (camera model, flash on or off, lens type, zoom, etc.) with some newer point-and-shoot and dSLR models including GPS data too.&nbsp; That feature can be disabled although it&#039;s handy while traveling (villages in Italy start to look alike!) since the latitude &amp; longitude data can pinpoint where the picture was taken.&nbsp; Pictures of your kids or your coin collection with that data isn&#039;t such a good idea.&nbsp; Posting a picture with location EXIF data on photo sharing websites like Flickr or Webshots, social media sites like Facebook or Google+ or even here leaves that data intact.&nbsp; I can save the picture and easily read that data.&nbsp; If you are concerned about perhaps revealing too much about yourself when posting a photo, there are EXIF data editors (both free and for-fee) available that can scrub all EXIF data from a picture.&nbsp; Just google (used as a verb...) &quot;EXIF data editor&quot;to find one that suits your needs.</p><p><br /></p><p>The geolocation feature isn&#039;t just an iPhone issue as Android phones, iPads and even your desktop or laptop computer can collect, imbed and broadcast that data.&nbsp; You can test to see if your browser has the geolocation feature turned on at this website <a href="http://benwerd.com/lab/geo.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://benwerd.com/lab/geo.php" rel="nofollow">http://benwerd.com/lab/geo.php</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Geolocation can be turned off on all browsers and devices - which isn&#039;t a bad idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
