If you decide to upload images to the website, it is important to avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data, specifically EXIF GPS information. This is because visitors to the website have the ability to download these images and extract any embedded location data from them. Therefore, to protect your privacy and prevent the sharing of sensitive location details, make sure that your images do not include this type of metadata before uploading them to the site.
