How does metadata reveal so much about our personal identity?

The images that we post online contains a substantial amount of metadata such as

  • type of camera used,
  • mode of flash,
  • aperture open time and size,
  • date, time of capture,
  • location info,
  • type of phone (if the image was captured using a phone), its model, etc.

So when you look at a broader picture even though you have posted a simple selfie from your private account it still holds a whole lot of information than you can imagine.
