Images carry more than they appear to. A holiday photo can contain your home address in its metadata; a screenshot can expose an email address in a notification; a photo you legally took may still not be one you may legally publish.

These articles cover both sides of that: protecting your own material and other people's. On the privacy side — metadata, anonymization, blurring faces properly (and why mosaic isn't enough), sharing photos of children, and verifying where an image came from. On the rights side — image copyright basics, stock licence pitfalls, when a model release is needed, whether removing a watermark is legal, and how photo metadata behaves as evidence.
