They are distributing the picture so you are free to file a DMCA takedown request and they would have to take it down unless your claim is obviously invalid. Embedding extra data has nothing to do with it.

Wouldn't that depend on what they use this data for, what it is, and whether they keep it regardless of taking the file down if requested ? ( GDPR, etc. )
