What Is My Location

Privacy Policy

Short version: we don't store your precise coordinates, we don't sell data, and we use server-side analytics with truncated location data for aggregate reporting only. Full details below.

Permission-based · Private

This privacy policy explains what data we collect, what we don't, and how it's handled. Last updated: 2026-05-27.

1. What we collect

Server logs include your IP address, browser user-agent, referring page, and a session identifier — the standard data any website receives. We use this for security monitoring, debugging, and aggregate analytics.

2. Location data

When you click the locate button and grant permission, your browser sends your coordinates to our reverse-geocoding proxy. The proxy truncates coordinates to ~100 meter precision before any logging. We never store your precise position.

3. Cookies

We use a small set of cookies for theme preference (light/dark mode), session identification (analytics), and a privacy-friendly visitor tracker. No advertising cookies, no third-party analytics cookies.

4. Third parties

Reverse geocoding uses OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Elevation and weather use Open-Meteo. Map tiles come from OpenStreetMap. IP-based fallback uses ipwho.is. We send minimal data — typically just coordinates — to these services.

5. Data sharing and sale

We do not sell user data. We do not share user data with advertisers. Aggregate, anonymized usage statistics may be shared in case studies or blog posts.

6. Your rights

You can clear cookies anytime in your browser settings. You can request removal of any personally identifying information from our logs by emailing [email protected].

7. Children

This service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

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.
