Metadata
Metadata is data about data, such as file dates, authorship fields, device information, location tags, message identifiers, or system timestamps.
Metadata can help show when something was created, modified, transferred, photographed, downloaded, or accessed.
Do not resave, export, screenshot, or forward files unnecessarily if original metadata matters.
