# Privacy: Technical Details

This page explains the technical details behind our privacy promises: where data goes, what we log, what we don't, and how server-side proxies work without exposing your exact coordinates.

## 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.
