This.
Waze isn't designed to be a tracking app.
It provides notifications of things that are stationary.
It also uses positions (and speed) of its users to determine traffic flow. Waze certainly is reporting the GPS coordinates of its users back to its servers.
It reports approximate location of "wazers" but there is no contract that says the location is accurate. It seems unlikely that Waze would have any interest in making that contract.
