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. 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.
