I belive if you use the "Save for Web" feature when saving an image it will get rid of all the EXIF data. Another way to get rid of the EXIF data is to open the image, copy it, and paste it into a new blank image. That sounds like a lot of work to me though. I would think that there would be an esier way but I don't know how. If nothing else, you could create an action to "Save for web" all of your images, then burn them to a disc.

Just to indicate the other side of it, if you are doing legal or journalistic photography, that Exif data is absolutely crucial in court.

This works well! Do all your files at once and fast.

One of the benefits of nuking the exif is it makes the file sizes smaller too.

Use GIMP it's free and gives the option if you want to save exif data with the photo.

Save it as a TIFF format and then convert it back to JPEG
TIFF doesn't support exif info
