Following the approval of your comment, your profile picture will become visible to the public in conjunction with your comment.

Media

When you upload images to a website, it’s best to avoid including any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in the images. This is because visitors to the website have the ability to download and extract location data from the images on the site.
