Is Exify safe?
Exify sends embedded photo GPS coordinates to OpenStreetMap Nominatim when it shows location metadata.
Exify reads EXIF metadata from images and, when GPS latitude and longitude are present, converts those coordinates for display. To show a human-readable location, it sends the coordinates to OpenStreetMap Nominatim's reverse-geocoding endpoint.
