Location signals your browser reveals
Location signals split in two. Your timezone is read automatically, no questions asked. Your coordinates, zip or postal code, street address and elevation only appear after you explicitly allow location access, and a public geocoding lookup turns raw coordinates into something readable.

What location signals does ReadMyBrowser check?
ReadMyBrowser checks 6 location signals: Location, Zip code, Postal code, Address, Timezone, Elevation. Each has its own explainer page with more detail.
Do any of these need my permission?
5 of the 6 do: Location, Zip code, Postal code, Address, Elevation. Your browser will ask before sharing anything, and nothing is read until you allow it. The rest are automatic.
