Hey guys just getting settled for the morning here!

What i wanna know is why is this forum tracking my location? I've asked on here and was told no every time i asked . that's why I took my phone one time . and here's what was in my settings . I dunno if I trust anyone anymore, guess I don't think ill be using this phone at all to show pics again . don't even wanna use a phone at all actually . any admins wanna chime in would be appreciated. I think this puts out outdoor illegal grows in jeopardy

Hey dagger, we're not! I think it's been answered enough already but it appears you're using Tapatalk to browse the forum, which uploads files to their own directories (not ours.)

Here are our EXIF data file settings for our media gallery on the site:

You can see that we pull in file size, width, and height; those are parameters defined as such so we can limit the size of picture uploads (so members aren't trying to upload 4000 x 4000 resolution 20 mb files.) So if you're using our gallery to upload, you should be just fine.

If you look at the link of the picture you posted (that you're claiming foul on AFN for,) you can see it's actually hosted on Tapatalk, not even on AFN at all.

Same thing its the app. Which puts all of us at risk

Simple solution would be to not use the app, or to see if there are settings within the app that are pulling the data. It's not our application though, we have no control/affiliation over it.

Guess I'm just seeing shit then lol. What's your knowledge on the system ? Any at all ? That's my bet

Blue's been one of our admin for years on the site.

I'm one of the owners of AFN and I manage all of the back-end of the site. Perhaps my words would be more credible to you (though Blue is 100% spot on.)

Thank you. Now maybe there should be warning to users on here about that app don't ya think? They get everything and its known obviously . afn is involved in the app so they know its being tracked . deleting this app today.

There is some expectation of due diligence on users posting questionable pictures on the internet (especially of cannabis grows.) We've done what we can on our end to strip any data that comes in to the media gallery (with the options that the software we use provides,) and one of our users even wrote a very thorough guide on user security if you haven't read it yet:

https://www.autoflower.org/threads/...ty-and-minimize-your-digital-footprint.64617/

But at the end of the day, Tapatalk is a 3rd party application, not affiliated with AFN, and we have no control over their policies, data retention, or options allowed within their software. You are not required to use Tapatalk to browse this forum, nor is it implied anywhere on the site to do so.

@trailanimal
I've deleted my germ pic, so I've not posted any card with a germed seed shot. I could download my original pic, photoshop it, with code ect, but life just seems too short
Can I continue, and everyone can just pretend it never happened??!

:pighug:
 
NO ... it's nothing like the same thing.

If you're that concerned that your phone is not obeying your commands to not give the location to anyone (including tapatalk) .... dont use their software.

It's 3rd Party Forum Browsing Software that you've chose to use.

Once and for all.
AFN is NOT tracking anyones location ... or does it have the facilirty to make a request like that.

Okay?

:pighug:
thanks blue!
