Metadata (photo and file details)
In Turkish: Üst veri (fotoğraf ve dosya bilgileri)
Hidden details stored inside files, such as when and where a photo was taken, which device made it, or who wrote a document.
Many phone photos carry the GPS position where they were taken, the date and the phone model. Documents can hold the author's name and edit history. Most big social platforms strip some of this when you upload, but you should not rely on that, and files sent directly often keep everything.
Removing metadata before sharing a file is quick and keeps your home or workplace from being read off a picture.
What to do
- Run photos and documents through the MyDefense Metadata Cleaner before sending them.
- Turn off location tagging in your camera app if you do not need it.
- Be careful with photos taken at home or at your child's school.
