About This Project

Photogram is a simple photo uploader built with Expo (React Native) and Firebase Storage. It demonstrates a key security practice by automatically removing sensitive EXIF metadata (like GPS location and camera details) from each image right after it's uploaded. This is accomplished using a Python Cloud Function that processes the image. In light of security concerns like the 'Tea app' debacle, this project shows that Firebase security is robust when implemented correctly. It highlights how small, proactive steps—like cleaning user-uploaded photos—can significantly enhance user privacy and safety. The repository for the Cloud Function can be found [here](https://github.com/Amaechina-Ikechukwu/exif-data-remover-cloud-function).
