True privacy is in the details.

SHARE

When it comes to guarding your privacy online, your first instinct might be to protect your content—by being careful what you write and choosy about what’s in the images you post. But even though you’re being careful, it may not be enough. Everything you upload to the internet has metadata attached to it. This is everything related to a file that’s not the content itself—format, what program it came from, its creation date, and sometimes even the name of its author.

It gets even trickier with images, as these files use a standard called exchangeable image format, or EXIF. When you use a phone or tablet to capture photos or video, it will embed information like the make and model of the device that generated the file, along with the exact GPS location where it was created. When you use a digital camera, this bundle of information will also include technical data like ISO speed or the aperture settings you used when you took the photo.

If sharing that potentially personal information makes you feel queasy, you’re not alone. The good news is you can delete that data before you share any file.Scrubbing files clean is easy on Microsoft’s operating system: You can use the same method across all types.Properties.
