Continuous collection of precise location and movement data is among the most sensitive categories of personal information, and its sharing with third parties including Waze's parent company Google raises significant privacy concerns.
Using Waze grants the company a broad, irrevocable license to your location data, driving patterns, and any content you submit, which Waze may use for commercial purposes including advertising. US users are subject to mandatory binding arbitration and waive the right to participate in class action lawsuits unless they opt out. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Waze within 30 days of first using the service.
