Data leakage

[RogerS]

I recently did a search on Google of our house using these terms

"our house name" -road (as there is a road with a similar name) and then selected images.

Slightly concerning to see many images that I posted up onto Thewoodhaven2 forum appearing in these search results. I can see no tags to our house name on the flickr image. Our house name has never been posted to TWH2.

So how on earth does that happen ?

Were the pictures taken on your phone?

Some was. Some was screen grabbed off my computer.

Thanks Nev...I checked the EXIF's already and no location data.

Sounds like Google Analytics.

Have you tried googling the name on a computer that you don't browse WoodHaven on?

Good idea. I've got a mate who is non-woody and he'll try tomorrow.

You could be right Jake...I block Google Analytics but who knows what goes on behind the scenes.

Does this mean that you should not upload pictures taken from a mobile phone onto the net?
Can you do something like adjusting the image in paint for example?

You can use "incognito mode" on Chrome, or "InPrivate" on Microsoft Edge to do the same search without it using all your cookies etc.

Good call ! No difference though.
