Google photos hit me with a notification that changed how I share pictures

I was at my kid's soccer game last Saturday and took about 40 photos to send to the group chat. Later that night I got a notification from Google Photos saying my face had been detected in 12 other people's shared albums from that same field. I never realized that when I use their 'shared album' feature, anyone in the album can automatically tag and link back to my full photo history. Has anyone else had their location data exposed this way without realizing it?

Buddy found his ex's vacation pics through a shared album link. Awkward.

My friend found her ex's wedding photos through her old Amazon account last week, brutal stuff.
