Great question, but also better to remove it yourself just for the peace of mind.

How do I remove Metadata from my pictures?

On windows, if you check the properties of the file, there’s a button to remove metadata.

On iPhone, if you go into your photos and drag a photo up, you can click “adjust” and remove or edit the location and time/date (it will still have camera data).

Yep, safest route is to be cautious and do it yourself if it is enough of a concern.
