Specific recommendations based on detected privacy risks.

What the score checks

Five categories are analyzed: GPS coordinates, camera identifiers, timestamps, editing software traces, and embedded thumbnails. GPS is weighted heaviest because it directly reveals physical locations. Scores range from 0 (minimal risk) to 100 (high exposure).

When to use it

Before sharing photos on platforms that don't strip metadata — Telegram, Discord, email, forums, personal websites. Especially important for photos of home, children, or workplace. High score? Use the EXIF Remover to clean the file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the privacy score measure?

It checks five metadata categories: GPS location, device identifiers (serial numbers), timestamps, editing software, and embedded thumbnails. GPS is weighted heaviest.

What score is safe for sharing?

90–100 is safe for any public platform. 70–89 is generally fine but review flagged items. Below 70 — strip metadata first using EXIF Remover.

Which platforms strip metadata automatically?

Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter remove most EXIF data. Telegram, WhatsApp (as document), email, forums, and cloud storage often preserve it.

Can camera serial numbers identify me?

Yes. Serial numbers are unique per device. Multiple photos with the same serial can be linked to one person. This matters for anonymous sources or whistleblowers.

How do I disable GPS on my phone camera?

iPhone: Settings → Privacy → Location Services → Camera → Never. Android: Camera Settings → toggle off Location tags. This prevents GPS from being recorded in future photos.
