Quick thing most photographers, agents and designers never check: every JPEG straight off a phone or mirrorless camera carries a buried EXIF block — GPS lat/long down to a few meters, the camera body's serial number, lens serial number, and the exact timestamp of the shot.

If you deliver those files raw, you're handing over more than the photo:

• Real estate → GPS in listing photos can reveal exact addresses before a sale is public, sometimes exposing an owner's home location.

• Interior design portfolios → same problem, but it's a client's actual home, sitting in your public case studies.

• Field inspection reports → serial numbers can fingerprint which device/employee shot a file, which matters more than people think in disputes.

The fix isn't "remember to strip EXIF in Lightroom every time" — it's making the export step incapable of carrying it. Redraw the image onto a raw canvas and re-encode it, and there's no header left for metadata to live in. That's the whole trick, and it's why it can run 100% client-side with no upload step at all.
