Event Summary

Waze's Privacy Policy was reformatted in an update detected on July 15, 2026. The table of contents was restructured, moving 'Cookies' and subsequent sections to appear after 'How does Waze use aggregated information?' rather than before it. The substantive definition of 'Personal Information' and all policy language remain unchanged. This is a structural reorganization with no material change to Waze's stated data practices or user rights.

LOW

Consumer Impact

This change is a structural reorganization of Waze's Privacy Policy table of contents with no modification to the substantive terms, data collection practices, or user rights. The policy's definition of Personal Information, data collection methods, sharing practices, and retention policies remain identical. The updated language does not alter what data Waze collects, how it uses that data, or what controls users have over their information.

Governance Analysis

This change has no material operational significance. The privacy policy's structure was reorganized, but all substantive terms governing data collection, sharing, retention, and user controls remain unchanged. Users' practical relationship with Waze's data practices is unaffected.

Key Clauses Affected
