If you choose to connect the accounts, Waze will ask for your permission to share data with the third party service. You should only agree to connect accounts if you are comfortable with the third party service receiving the data set out at the time of connecting the accounts and Waze is not responsible for the third party service's use of data.

On receiving such a request, Waze will use reasonable efforts to delete such information, however please note that information may not be deleted immediately from our back-up systems. We aim to initiate the deletion process immediately after your request. Once we receive your request, your data will no longer be used to personalize your Waze experience. We then begin a process designed to safely and completely delete the data from our storage systems. This process generally takes around 2 months from the time of deletion. As with any deletion process, things like routine maintenance, unexpected outages, bugs, or failures in our protocols may cause delays in the processes and time frames defined in this policy. We maintain systems designed to detect and remediate such issues.
 Some data you can delete whenever you like, some data is deleted automatically, and some data we retain for longer periods of time when necessary. This section describes why we hold onto different types of data for different periods of time.

 - **Data that expires after a specific period of time** - in some cases, you don't need to actively delete your information as we set retention timeframes based on the reason for the data's collection. For example, if you choose to connect your calendar to your Waze Account, we extract your calendar events for several days in advance and delete them after their occurrence. We may also take steps to anonymize certain data within set timeperiods.
 - **Information retained until your Waze Account is deleted** - we may keep some data for the life of your Waze Account if it's useful for helping us understand how users interact with our features and how we can improve our services.

When you delete your Waze Account, the information about how many reports you have submitted is also removed.
+- **Information retained for extended time periods for limited purposes** - sometimes business and legal requirements oblige us to retain certain information, for specific purposes, for an extended period of time. For example, when Waze processes a payment for you, we'll retain this data for longer periods of time as required for tax or accounting purposes. Reasons we might retain some data for extended periods of time include: \_ Security, fraud & abuse prevention \_ Financial record-keeping \_ Complying with legal or regulatory requirements \_ Ensuring the continuity of our services \* Direct communications with Waze
