Open the file details on almost any photo taken with a phone, and buried in the metadata is a pair of GPS coordinates: the exact spot the shutter fired. For a snapshot, that's harmless. For a studio delivering client work, it's the client's home address, the venue, the hospital room, quietly attached to every file you hand over.
That metadata is called EXIF, and it travels with the image. When a client downloads their gallery and forwards a favorite to family, the coordinates go with it. Nobody chose to share a location. The camera wrote it in by default, and most tools in the delivery chain simply pass it along.
Arteliox can remove it. On the Agency plan you can switch location stripping on, and from then on the coordinates come out of every file we process for delivery. The photo your client downloads looks identical; it just no longer carries a map pin to where it was taken. It stays off until you turn it on, because by default we hand back the file you uploaded, unchanged.
It's the kind of detail that's easy to overlook until the one time it matters: a newborn session, an at-home shoot, a client who would simply rather the world not know where they live. Those are the shoots worth turning it on for. We leave that call to you, because it is your work and your client's file, and editing a photographer's photographs without being asked is not ours to do.
