Q: When I migrated from iPhoto to Photo all my photos now contain location information. Most of is absolutely wrong. How do I change it. Also does Apple mine this information for their marketing programs?
When I migrated from iPhoto to Photo all my albums now contain location information in the title. 99% of it iis absolutely wrong. How do I change the album name to not include location information. I have over 10,000 photos and hundreds of albums that are mislabeled. HELP.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), null

Sorry you need to express much less paranoia and give correct details
Moving from iPHoto to Photos does not add location information to titles - or for that matter to anything - Photos has the ability to display location information but no to generate or modify it which is a current major short coming of Photos - it will be changed with El captain this fall - http://www.apple.com/osx/elcapitan-preview/?cid=wwa-us-kwg-mac-com
And albums names are totally generated by you so if they include location information it is because you typed it in
And as to wrong information, again Photos has no ability to touch location information so anything you see re locations is from your camera, your phone or work you did in iPhoto
As to data mining, if apple wants to know where I take pictures it is no skin off my butt - I have no idea nor do I personally care - if you are interested then you need to ask Apple - none of the users here have any idea (we do know that Google does do data mining on any thing you let them have access to including using any of their software including Google Maps and Chrome and the GPS data form your. Google (Android) phone if you use one - many of use will not use Google stuff because of that)
