+Metadata and privacy
+
+Metadata consist of information that characterizes data. Metadata are
+used to provide documentation for data products. In essence, metadata
+answer who, what, when, where, why, and how about every facet of the
+data that are being documented. Metadata within a file can tell a lot
+about you. Cameras record data about when a picture was taken and what
+camera was used. Office documents like PDF or Office automatically
+adds author and company information to documents and spreadsheets.
+Maybe you don't want to disclose those information.
+
+This is precisely the job of mat2: getting rid, as much as possible,
+of metadata.
+
+mat2 provides:
+
+a library called libmat2;
+a command line tool called mat2,
+a service menu for Dolphin, KDE's default file manager
+
+If you prefer a regular graphical user interface, you might be
+interested in Metadata Cleaner
+(https://metadatacleaner.romainvigier.fr/ , not on SBo), which is
+using mat2 under the hood.
