so they shouldn’t be a risk like GPS that exposes precise locations?
Yes, they only provide country, province/state and city. As others mentioned if you’re worried about this information get yourself a reliable VPN provider, route all your devices through said VPN provider (ideally through your router).
When picking a VPN provider it is highly recommended to read their Privacy Policy before signing up, ensure they don’t log data.

In my experience the city information is not particularly reliable. If you geolocate my IP the city is always wrong.

I get targeted ads based on IP location… for different regions of my country.
