Are "Awaiting Payment" guests sent the address for your home?

I had my first experience with a guest who made a reservation which, instead of confirming, was listed as "awaiting payment".  There was no further communication but their reservation was technically to have started while the awaiting payment notice was still active.  My question is, were they even sent the residence address by AirBNB?? I would certainly hope not. I myself did *not* provide check-in information or send a door code since this, for me, is not an active reservation. I also can't see the profile of the guest and the status on my calendar says "this reservation is almost confirmed" so it shouldn't be active. Also, if some person were to attempt to show up at the house or in the middle of the night, I would absolutely consider it a trespasser since I have no reservation for them and wouldn't be able to confirm who they were.

@Anthony608 All the information goes out only when a booking is confirmed, so I would say with certainty that this person wouldn't have gotten the access info.
