Media
- Images
Images you send to us for the purpose of selling equipment on your behalf can be used to advertise to prospective customers, and promote your equipment on third party sites like social media, classifieds, marketing materials and private email.
Rig Sales Australia uses the Premium ShortPixel Plugin which automatically attempts to remove all EXIF data from all images uploaded to this website before they are published. Removing this information aids in helping to increase the load speed of the website.
EXIF is a set of various pieces of information that are automatically embedded into the image upon creation including GPS location.
If you supply images for use on this website and you are overly concerned about hidden data you can remove it easily yourself before sending it. Instructions on how to remove exif data yourself can be easily found via search engines.
