Last Updated on June 25, 2015.

This policy explains the privacy practices of Waze Mobile Limited and its affiliates ("Waze") as they relate to the purchase and display of advertising space from Waze (the "Advertising Services") (which, along with other services offered by Waze to its users, are collectively referred to as, "the Services").

It describes how Waze collects and uses your personal information and the rights and options available to you.

Our user Privacy Policy explains what information we collect as part of the mapping, GPS navigation and community based services offered to users of www.Waze.com (the "Website") and/or users of Waze's mobile application (the "Application") and how we use that information.

This policy is incorporated into Waze's general Terms of Use or the Waze Advertising Terms and Conditions, respectively (the "Terms of Use" or the "Terms").

In this Privacy Policy, the term "personal information" means any information collected by us or provided by you that, with reasonable efforts, may be used to identify you, which may include first and last name, home address, email address and payment details.

Information you provide with respect to Advertising Services

When you register to Waze's Advertising Services and wish to purchase from Waze advertising space to be used for displaying your Ads on the Application, you will be required to provide Waze with certain details. Waze will ask you to provide information about your business including, without limitation, the name of your business, physical address, email address, phone number, organization number, tax ID, etc. In addition, in order to pay for the advertising space you purchase, you will be required to provide Waze with your payment details, including credit card details (credit card number and expiration date), billing address and further details with respect to your Ads. To protect your privacy, your payment details may not be stored on Waze's systems but rather on a third party online payment gateway that assists Waze in the authentication, authorization, charge and maintenance of your payment details for the Advertising Services you purchase from Waze. This is with the provision that such gateway is subject to applicable standards and regulations with respect to the holding of personal information and the processing of online payments.

Bear in mind that false, incorrect, or out-dated information may impair Waze's ability to provide you with the Advertising Services and to contact you when necessary. Waze will explicitly indicate the fields for mandatory completion. If you do not enter the requisite data in these fields, you may not be able to register with the Advertising Services.

Controlling your personal information

If you find that the information on your account is not accurate, complete or updated, then you must make all necessary changes to correct it. Please keep in mind that false, incorrect, or outdated information may prevent you from registering with the Services and impair the ability to provide you with Services.

Information Security

Waze considers information security to be a top priority. Waze implements systems, applications and procedures to secure your personal information, to minimize the risks of theft, damage, loss of information, or unauthorized access or use of information. However, these measures are unable to provide absolute assurance. Therefore, although Waze takes great efforts to protect your personal information, Waze cannot guarantee and you cannot reasonably expect that the Waze's databases will be immune from any wrongdoings, malfunctions, unlawful interceptions or access, or other kinds of abuse and misuse.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Waze may from time to time change the terms of this policy. Substantial changes will take effect 30 days after Waze has posted an initial notification on the Website's homepage or any other relevant web pages. Other changes will take effect 7 days after their initial posting on the Website. However, if Waze amends this policy to comply with legal requirements, the amendments will become effective immediately upon their initial posting, or as required.

You agree to be bound by any of the changes made in the terms of this policy. Continuing to use the Services will indicate your acceptance of the amended terms. If you do not agree with any of the amended terms, you must avoid any further use of the Services.
