Does anyone know if there is any personal info or metadata that needs to be removed from any beatmap files before uploading. Do I need to for example remove metadata from the audio/background files?

There are websites and tools that can extract and show you the metadata of files, but normally no you dont need to hide anything or remove any metadata as it is hardly important.
Good rule of thumb is that if you are worried about location metadata or something like that on a file or image then better to just not use that image or find another file online/remove the metadata but I am not sure a lot of folks that play the game know how to extract that specific information.

thanks for your reply, what you're saying is there's nothing too identifiable in there anyway?Blushing wrote:

more than likely there is no identifiable information in the metadata, and if there is you can always reach out to support@ppy.sh and they will remove itJoltie wrote:
