ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The terms authorize sharing personal data including location and usage information with the broader Google corporate family, which means data collected in the Waze app may be combined with or inform data held across other Google services, though the precise extent of cross-service data integration is not fully specified in the policy.

Interpretive note: The policy does not specify which Google affiliates receive which categories of data or the precise legal basis for each sharing relationship, creating interpretive uncertainty about the full scope of data flows.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The Waze privacy policy states that precise GPS location, driving routes, speed, search queries, and device identifiers are collected while the app is active and shared with Google and third-party analytics and advertising partners. For users who enable Carpooling, the policy states that contact information may also be accessed and processed. You can review location sharing permissions and data settings in the Waze app under Settings, and California residents and EU users can submit data access, deletion, or opt-out requests through the in-app support options or Waze's designated privacy request channels.
