 Waze Carpool partners with employers, organizations and governmental entities ("Waze Carpool Partners") in order to encourage the use of carpooling. If you have joined a Carpool group which is promoted by a partner or any other third party, your carpool profile (or other information you have chosen to share) may be visible to other members of the group, including representatives of the partner or third party who may also be part of the group.
 ## Visibility
 Please note that your username and some other information will be visible to others. Note that your username will be included along with any information you submit for posting (such as traffic reports or chat messages). It will therefore be visible to others. Also - your friends on Waze will see your name & profile photo and any other information you chose to share with them.
 If you choose to verify your work or university's email address, your work or university will be listed publicly on your profile as well (but your email address will stay private).
 Note: your home and work addresses are not listed publicly on your profile, but rather only be saved on your Waze account. However, in certain circumstances, your pickup/drop-off spots may be your home or work address if for example you share a similar route with your driver or rider.
 You may choose to share information between your Waze account and your social network account (such as Facebook). Through this option, you may choose to have personal information and other content about you available from social networks, transmitted and shared through the Services.

 When you connect to the social network account through the Services for the first time or otherwise make the Services interact with your social network account, you will be asked by the social network to permit the social network to share your personal information stored on such social network with Waze. We collect your information from your social network account only in accordance with the permissions granted by you (such as your name, email address, list of friends, profile picture and other information available via the applicable social network).
 You understand and agree that the Services may access, make available and store such information so that it is available on and through your Waze Account, until your Waze Account is deleted.
 ## Integration with other third party services
 Waze may offer you the option to link Waze to third party services that may be useful to you (like, Spotify). Where Waze detects an integration may be available (either because a third party service attempts to link to Waze, or Waze detects an installed service on the device which has an integration option, or you request a particular integration), Waze will ask for confirmation to connect the accounts. 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. You can disconnect Waze and the third party service at any time and Waze will cease sharing data with that service from the point of disconnection onwards.
