[digiKam-users] just a privacy question (geo tagging)

[Daniel Bauer-2]

Hello,

If I click on "adjust geolocalisation" (Geolokalisierung bearbeiten) to
see on the Google map where the image was taken, what data is
transferred to google? More than just the geographical coordinates?

I ask because google's hunger for data is infinitive and sometimes for a
function they ask for data that has nothing to do with the function.

So, I'd love to know, what data digikam transferres to big brother when
I look at an image with geo tag.

Thanks for telling me and have a good day!

Daniel

Hi daniel,

Only the gps positions is enough to place thumbnail over the map and center the view.

As i remember, no image data is send to the google server.
