If you've had Google street view cars in your location, and you use a WiFi router, they probably will have snagged the MAC address, this can also be used for tracking purposes.
If you allow Google Chrome to share your location with a site, the browser will send local network information to Google Location Services to get an estimate of your location. The browser can then share your location with the requesting site. The local network information used by Google Location Services to estimate your location includes information about visible WiFi access points, including their signal strength; information about your local router; your computer's IP address. The accuracy and coverage of Google Location Services will vary by location.
Google Chrome saves your location information so that it can be easily retrieved. This information is periodically updated; the frequency of updates depends on changes to your local network information.
If you do not want Google Chrome to contact Google Location Services, select "Do not allow any site to track my physical location" as your default permission for location requests or do not click Allow in location request prompts.
For more information on how your information is protected, see our Privacy Policy. You should also examine a website's privacy policy before sharing your location with them.
