Does Xenforo automatically remove GEO tags from images?

Some forums require extra precautions be taken when protecting the privacy of their members. EXIF data with Geo tags can give away someone's home address in the image metadata.

Does Xenforo automatically remove any EXIF geo tags for uploaded images in the gallery and forum app; do you need to have someone write you an add-on to remove the EXIF data automatically from uploaded images?
 
One of the strengths of forums is the anonymous nature of them. Not everyone wants to talk about political stuff on their Facebook.

But when uploading an image results in people knowing your home address ... when you didn't intend it... forums have turned a strength into a weakness.
