Microsoft Edge doesn't collect or store the location data that is shared with the site, and generates a new random identifier for each request.

**InPrivate** browsing uses the location permission settings of the browser profile from which the **InPrivate** session was launched. **Guest** mode always asks you for permission before granting a site access to your precise location.
When you browse the web using **InPrivate**, the **Ask** and **Block** permissions, which control accessing your precise location, are inherited from the profile that you used to open the **InPrivate** window. However, the **Allow** permissions are not automatically inherited, and Microsoft Edge asks for your permission again before granting the site access to your precise location. In **Guest** mode, Microsoft Edge always asks for permission before granting a site access to your precise location.
