Great question, but also better to remove it yourself just for the peace of mind.
How do I remove Metadata from my pictures?
On windows, if you check the properties of the file, there’s a button to remove metadata.
On iPhone, if you go into your photos and drag a photo up, you can click “adjust” and remove or edit the location and time/date (it will still have camera data).
Thanks. How would I do it on an Android phone?

Yep, safest route is to be cautious and do it yourself if it is enough of a concern.
