While Waze describes this data as anonymous, research has shown that anonymized location data can often be re-identified, potentially revealing your identity and movements.
Waze continuously collects your precise location data, driving behavior, search queries, and device identifiers, which may be shared with Google and third-party advertising partners. Your driving patterns and location history can be used to build a profile for targeted advertising even when the app is running in the background. You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting Waze at waze-support@waze.com or through the in-app settings.
