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.
