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.
...of course, it doesn't *store* that information anywhere.
The current policy seems to be written in relation to the account
system...in the current account system you can set your locale and your
timezone, though I don't see anywhere to set any more specific location
than that (I think older versions of FAS might've let you be more
specific).
