Are you sure your images aren't being tagged with location data? That's a pretty common feature these days

How old is your TV? Any TV made in the last 5 years will be. 10+ years will still have diagnostic logs but might not upload them automatically.

As in your local library which you need to present your library card to check out publications? And who know who has what checkout out and for how long? They absolutely need to track their customers otherwise people would just steal books.
