What sits in the file
EXIF can hold camera details and time. GPS tags can hold where the camera was. C2PA is a signed claim, not a location log.
File records are a different layer: Metadata Cleaner. That work happens on the file bytes.
What sits in the browser
Canvas, WebGL, audio, fonts, screen, language, and time zone are readable from script without opening the file.
The grouped report is the browser privacy check. Those probes do not read your photo.
What to check before you post
If the worry is the place the photo was taken, inspect the file. If the worry is the browser being recognized later, inspect the browser.
Doing one and skipping the other leaves the other layer as it was.
Common questions
Does Metadata Cleaner change my fingerprint?
No. It edits the file you give it. It does not reconfigure the browser.
Does the fingerprint test upload my photo?
No. The browser tools do not take a file.
