Should this proposal be accepted, there will be a separate document. And,
unrelatedly, the existing privacy statement is in the process of an update
-- needs a refresh for legal changes, and there are number of things that it
suggests we might do that I think we have no interest in and should drop
(like asking for geo coordinates).
The installer does broad geolocation in order to guess the timezone and
locale, IIRC. grep the anaconda codebase for 'geoip' and you'll find
the code. It basically hits up
https://geoip.fedoraproject.org/city ,
so you can go there manually and see what data it gets from you.
