What is my address?
Find your approximate street address from your device location, only after you allow it. Coordinates go only to a public geocoding lookup.
Your browser will ask before sharing anything. Nothing is uploaded.
Your approximate address can be shown above once you allow location access. When you press the button and accept the prompt, your browser fixes your coordinates and this page looks them up with a public reverse-geocoding service, OpenStreetMap Nominatim, to resolve the nearest street address.
This is the most sensitive item in the Location group, so it is worth being clear about the flow: the address is only ever looked up after your explicit consent, the result is displayed to you locally, and your coordinates go only to the public geocoding service that resolves them, never to us. We do not log or store them. If you deny permission, nothing is read.
Reverse geocoding is an approximation. It returns the closest matching address for your coordinates, which is usually spot on outdoors but can drift indoors or in areas with sparse mapping data. Think of it as "the address at roughly this point" rather than a guaranteed exact match.
What you should know
Why sites collect it
Delivery, ride-hailing, field services and check-out flows use your address to route goods and people to you. A legitimate site requests it only at the moment it is needed and only after you act.
Privacy implications
A full address is among the most identifying pieces of data you can share, effectively pointing at your front door. That is why it sits behind a permission prompt and why you should give it out sparingly. Here it is derived from consented coordinates, shared only with a public geocoding service and never with us, so you decide if it is read at all.
How to change or hide it
Deny the location prompt to skip this, and revoke access later in your browser's site settings. When a site genuinely needs your address, prefer typing it yourself so you control exactly what is stored, rather than granting broad location access.
Frequently asked questions
Is my exact address really detectable?
Only with your permission, and only approximately. Consented GPS coordinates reverse-geocode to the nearest address, which is usually close but not guaranteed exact.
Do you send my address anywhere?
We never see it. Your consented coordinates go to a public reverse-geocoding service (OpenStreetMap Nominatim) that resolves the address, and the result is shown to you locally. We do not receive, log or store your coordinates or your address.
