Your photos might include information of the exact location and time of the photo taken, your photo/camera models etc. Companies, governments, or someone with bad intentions can use such information for their benefits against you. This can easily be accessed by AI as well.

  1. Right-click on the file
  2. Properties
  3. Details
  4. Remove properties and personal information
