>I'm a little bit in line with the other folks - if you grant access to a photo, the entirety of that Photo (exif data et al) should be available to the app.

Seems to me there are two different questions here.

1) Access. 2) Sharing.

I expect most people would be fine with an app accessing location data in order to present sharing options (Tag?) or respect previously expressed intent (Always tag! / Never tag!).

The problem comes from the app automatically sharing what it has accessed without prompt, seemingly against the expressed intent of the user.

I think the question here is pretty important, even if this particular case seems trivial.
