Just ordered something on-line, and, before asking for your name, the website asked for your e-mail address.  Put e-mail (G-mail) address into webpage, and, immediately, the form filled-in the town name and zip code.

Google is telling people where you live when they have your G-mail address.  They didn't fill in the name, or street address, at least on this website.

Lesson:  thanks to Google, anybody who has your G-mail address could also have your physical address. 

Here's the website:  https://www.smokymountainnaturals.com/categories/
