Igor Greco is the founder of GrecO Metadados and has spent the last several years researching how hidden file data — metadata — exposes personal information that most people never intended to share. His interest in metadata privacy started with a frustrating realization: a photo he shared online still carried the exact GPS coordinates of where it was taken. That moment led him to dig deeper into EXIF data, document properties, and how everyday apps handle the information attached to your files — often without telling you. Since then, Igor has tested dozens of metadata removal tools across Android, iPhone, Windows, and Mac, and written guides focused on three groups he cares most about: parents sharing photos of their kids, freelancers sending documents to clients, and everyday users who simply want more control over their digital footprint. Privacy, in his view, isn't about hiding. It's about deciding — on your own terms — what information travels with your files.
