Just to clarify, the privacy concern here is the software accessing the 
internet without explicit user consent, regardless of what it is using 
this information for (internal only or providing it to other software).

Unless one is using technologies like VPNs or Tor *any* site you access 
on the internet will have your IP information and consequently also your 
(aproximate) location.

Kind regards,
Andrei
