         <description><![CDATA[<div>Waze is a social navigational tool for drivers all over the world. By simply travelling or driving around with the app installed on a user’s smartphone, he/she can share real-time information that translates traffic conditions and road structures. Also, the user can also report to the community on weather conditions, police traps, blocked roads, accidents, traffics and etc. Waze collect this information and analyze immediately in order to provide other Waze users the most optimal route to their destination, 24 hours a day. Because drivers connect to one another and work together to improve each other’s driving experience. The maps and navigation are powered by users, the more people drive by Waze, the better the navigation. Furthermore, Waze also uses information from your expedition to check for errors, calculate average speed, learn road and turn direction and improve road layout. Waze focus are drivers. Because of that, it does not support navigating in lanes dedicated to bicycles, trucks and public transportation. <br><br>What is the cost of the app?<br>‐ Although phone and carrier data rates continue to apply, Waze however, is an app free to be downloaded and used for everyone. Given that Waze receives and delivers real-time road information related to user’s route, it is strongly encourage having a mobile data plan with the user’s mobile service provider in order to use Waze on the go.<br>If free, is the app supported by advertising?<br>‐ Yes. Waze is supported by advertisements. According to its Terms of Use, “Third party advertisements may appear on the service from time to time. However, Waze does not endorse these advertisements, the advertisements are not intended to be, nor they should be viewed by drivers unless and until their vehicles has come to a complete stop.” <br>If free, is there a paid upgrade version available?<br>‐ No. Waze is a 100% free application.<br>What information will the app access on your device?<br>‐ In setting up and using Waze, the app will collect your detailed location and route information, information that you choose to share with Waze including the username of the person had chosen, “home” or “work”, other “favorites”, reports associated with the username, calendar information, destinations you may travel to, search queries, chat messages, information about your use of services. In addition, if the user go for “find friends” feature, Waze will collect all of the phone numbers which are stored on your device’s phone book, the user’s own phone number which will be used to verify his/her account as part of the “find friends” feature. Furthermore, the app will collect the person’s name and gender, information shared from his/her social network accounts, will link all of the user’s information with the user’s account and username used, and when using the application, the user’s approximate location and other information chosen to be contributed will be visible to other users associated with the username “Wazer”. <br>Do you have privacy concerns over sharing your personal information?<br>‐ It depends mainly on what information should be given. Waze apparently requires phone contacts to be accessed, even though anonymously, it can still pose a threat and maybe a problem on privacy issues. Moreover, any google searches the user has done through local applications or IP addresses that track his/her geolocation can easily be used to link his/her Waze data to his/her search history, social networking profiles, to virtually any other intelligence Google or its subsidiaries are collecting about you. Simply by using Waze even just once, the user has potentially granted Google license to identify him/her by GPS or geolocation, and associate an entire web search history with your family, to de-anonymize the him/her to Google. <br><br>BENI VIRAY</div>]]></description>

He/she has the option to allow the google translate or decline the request. <br><br>HIROMI KOJIMA</div>]]></description>
