Ben Ward:
It’s all stored in metadata (EXIF) in the JPEG images you upload. The camera make and model (plus a fair amount of technical detail on the image capture itself) are a part of that.
While I’ll promise that I did know of EXIF beforehand, WikiPedia will inevitably tell you more about EXIF far better than I could ever blag.
It also offers a plethora of links relating to the manual reading and creation of EXIF data in your files, plus links for how to read the data from programming languages like PHP.

How disappointing - I thought it was reading my thoughts. Or had access to my credit card statements….
