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.
