I’ve seen social networks being able to track my device’s location “through my IP address,” and other websites’ privacy policy stating that they collect data such as IP address to determine your location.
How does it work?
In: Technology
You can get the estimated location using the IP geolocation technology such as [IP2Location](https://www.ip2location.com). This is good enough for the business purpose such as advertising etc.
If you need to be sure for legal purpose such as crime investigation, then you need to submit the IP address request to ISP with proper documentation such as warrant.
