# About What Is My Location

What Is My Location is a free, privacy-respecting location utility website. We help users find their current location, address, GPS coordinates, latitude, longitude, altitude, timezone, and map position — all without exporting your data.

## Privacy

Your browser asks for permission before sharing your precise location. 
Reverse geocoding uses a server proxy that truncates your coordinates to 
approximately 100-meter precision before any logging. Your exact coordinates 
are not stored.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is my location?

Your location is the place where your device is currently detected using browser location permission, GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular, or network signals. This site shows it as both coordinates and a readable address.

### Can this website see my location automatically?

No. Your browser asks for permission before sharing precise location with the website. If you decline, only an approximate IP-based region is available.

### Is this free?

Yes. Every tool on this site is free and requires no account.

### Do you store my coordinates?

We don't store your precise coordinates. Reverse geocoding uses a server proxy that truncates coordinates to roughly 100-meter precision before any logging.
