Are there any things to know about settings images to 'private' on Flickr?

Photos have lat/lon/timestamp in EXIF. You're uploading a track log to them.

Even though location is embedded in EXIF, you can disable geolocation feature in Flickr's privacy setting, so that it won't be in the photo that is displayed on flickr. But yes, it does keep EXIF info in its database. For those who are paranoid, either run exiftool or imagemagick to strip off all EXIF before uploading.
