Maybe I'm lazy | When you take a picture with your smartphone/camera and put it on the web, do you realize that you are providing a lot of personal information that anyone can see? Most likely the following info (metadata) is in your JPG picture:
The exact location where the picture was taken
Almost all new phone and cameras have a GPS sensor in them. If you have enabled geo-tagging in your photos, the precise location that the picture was taken at is embedded in your image. This includes latitude, longitude, and altitude.
The exact date and time the picture was taken
The camera sets a date/time stamps in the picture when the picture was taken and when it was digitized.
The type of camera/phone which took the picture
A smart phone stores the make and the model. There even may be a serial number in there to uniquely identify your camera.
This type of information can reveal where your home is or where you were at on a particular day. Big privacy concern!
