<h3 class=question id=hidden-data>
Does data exposed by your specification carry related but distinct
information that may not be obvious to users?
</h3>

Features which enable users
to share data with origins
should ensure that such data
does not carry embedded, possibly hidden, information
without the user's awareness, understanding, and consent.

Documents
such as image or video files
often contain metadata about
where and when the image, video, or audio was captured
and
what kind of device captured or produced the data.
When uploaded,
this kind of metadata
may reveal to origins
information the user did not intend to reveal,
such as the user's present or past location
and socioeconomic status.

User agents should enable users to choose
whether or not to share such data with sites,
and the default should be that such data
is not shared.

<h3 class=question id="persistent-origin-specific-state">
Do the features in your specification introduce state
that persists across browsing sessions?
