Answer :

answer:As far as I’m aware they can see your username (typically your email address without the @...com), the date and time you posted it. And possibly the country you’re from. I don’t quite recall if it picks up any data like that. It would only be an issue if you’re already sharing your location publicly. Is there anything in particular you’re concerned about? Or just wondering?
