I know that an image could contain your GPS location. In addition to GPS location, what other
possible information that an image could contain which could identify an individual?

- The serial number of your camera (and your lens). For a camera this could be a bit hard to track, but for a smartphone, the constructor can certainly map the S/N to an IMEI, and the network operators can map the IMEI to a number and the number to a customer.
- Anything you have put in the "Artist", "Copyright", and "Owner name"
OTOH, I see these things in my DSLR pictures but not in my phone, where the pictures are more anonymous (besides the GPS data of course).
So this is camera-dependent, and the best way to tell is to take pics from your usual camera(s) and run them through and EXIF analyzer (ExifTool or else) and see for yourself.
