Ford's updated Terms and Conditions removed substantial sections describing how customer ratings and reviews are collected, moderated, and managed. The previous version disclosed that MaritzCX, a third-party vendor, administers surveys and moderates reviews according to specific guidelines (profanity filters, fraud detection, personal information removal, competitor reference filtering). The updated document no longer includes these operational disclosures, leaving the review process and vendor relationship undisclosed to users.
Consumers: Users can no longer see how their reviews are screened before publication or who processes them.
The updated Terms no longer disclose how Ford collects customer reviews, manages the third-party vendor (MaritzCX) responsible for survey administration, or applies moderation standards to published feedback. Previously, the Terms explained that reviews are moderated to remove profanity, fraud, personal identifying information, competitor references, dangerous behavior, and inadequate text. Users can no longer see these operational details or understand what standards govern how their submitted reviews are processed and displayed.
Entire section describing review collection, moderation, and vendor relationship removed from public Terms.
