PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem in which a user cannot perform image processing such as correction of image data using metadata as the metadata is already deleted when the image data is downloaded from an image management server, because the metadata is regarded as data related to privacy and the image management server separates the metadata from updated image data to delete it and only manages the image data, in a lot of SNS's image management servers.SOLUTION: An additional information management system 5 acquires additional information from image data transmitted from a display device 3a while receiving image identification information from an image management system 7. The additional information management system 5 manages the additional information by storing the additional information and the image identification information in association with each other. By this way, the additional information can be downloaded from the additional information management system 5 when another user B downloads image data from the image management system 7 using a display device 3b.
