Many responses here. Let’s simply.

With your IP they *may* be able to know your locale (within a hundred or few hundred miles).

Otherwise, there is 99.999% chance you have a router between you and your Internet IP which means there’s nothing someone can do with your IP.

Yes, there are fringe cases, but for the vast majority, having an IP does nothing.
