For safety & security reasons, it's a good idea to strip all EXIF information from images users upload.

Here's how you do it..

You will need to mod /includes/class-image.php

Look for

$temp_file = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'heic') . '.jpg';

right below the above line (it MUST be right below it) add

$imagick->stripImage(); // remove EXIF and metadata

... save your file, clear your cache and compiled templates and you're done.

We've tested it on our site and we know it works correctly.

Enjoy.
