Hello oneforbiz,
We understand that you have some questions related to location data on your photos. While there is not an automated way to remove existing data, you can disable location services for the camera so that information is not saved in the data of the image. Details can be found here:

In addition to jeremy_v’s suggestion, there are photo editing apps that can remove EXIF data, including location. Check the app store.
Almost all cameras store data about a photo in the EXIF data.
You need an editor to remove it.
