Waze is a community based traffic and navigation application available for both iOS and Android devices. It is considered as a live GPS map that gives real-time traffic and information for people on the road.

Waze is a free application to download. Although the application is free, the app uses location services therefore needs an internet connection, so it would be beneficial for you to have a mobile data plan with your mobile service provider in order to use Waze.

It is supported by advertising. They have a separate website called "Waze Ads". They have multiple success stories about how the companies that have invested in Waze in-app advertisements have benefitted from investing. Each investment has garnered millions of views because of the exposure they get. Some of these ad investors include McDonald's, Adidas, AT&T and many more.

Waze offers no paid upgrade.

According to their privacy policy found in their app that directs you to their website, Waze collects the following data:

●      detailed location and route information, through signals and other information sent by your mobile device on which the Application is installed and activated.  Waze uses this location and route information to create a detailed location history of all of the journeys you have made while using the Application

●       information that you choose to share with Waze, including a username you have chosen, reports associated with your username, “home” or “work”, other “favorites”, destinations you may travel to, chat messages, search queries, calendar information .  In addition, if you choose to opt in to the ‘find friends’ feature Waze will collect:

periodically, all of the phone numbers which are stored on your device’s phone book . We only collect numbersin a form which is anonymous to Waze, we will not collect names, addresses or other information from your device's phone book. This information will be used as part of the ‘find friends’ feature to help find and create a list of other Waze users who you may know and with whom you may wish to connect; and/ or

your phone number. Your phone number will be used to verify your account and as part of the ‘find friends’ feature to help find and create a list of other Waze users who you may know and with whom you may wish to connect.

I personally have no privacy concerns when it comes to using Waze. I fully trust that the information being collected is kept only to the minimum requirement in order for the application to run at optimum performance. I have been using this app and see no privacy issues based off my personal experience.
