See what is hiding
Inspect the metadata categories a file carries - location, author, device, timestamps - so you know exactly what you would be sharing.
Audit and strip hidden metadata before sharing files.
Metadata Review shows you the hidden details riding along inside your files - the GPS coordinates in a photo, the author baked into a PDF, the device tags in a video - then writes clean copies with that information stripped, before anything leaves your hands.
