  Waze updated its privacy policy on May 5, 2026 to add explicit language about collecting phone numbers from your device's contact book through the 'find friends' feature, and to clarify how social network information can be shared through the app. The policy now states that Waze periodically collects all phone numbers stored on your device to help identify other Waze users you may know, and that phone numbers are collected in a form that is initially anonymous to Waze. The updated terms also detail how you can connect your social network accounts and share profile information.

  Waze updated its privacy policy on April 19, 2026, removing detailed language about social network integration, the 'find friends' feature, and phone number collection, while making minor grammatical edits to other sections. The removal of these provisions eliminates specific descriptions of how Waze previously disclosed its collection of device contact information and phone numbers for friend-finding purposes. The policy now contains less explicit detail about these data practices, though the updated terms do not clearly state whether these practices have been discontinued or are simply no longer described.
