Ford's Privacy Policy underwent a substantial revision on July 13, 2026, with approximately 3,491 sentences added, 3,102 removed, and 733 modified. The updated policy's meta description now states Ford collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information across websites, apps, and services, replacing the prior narrower description focused on ford.com and owner.ford.com. The document scope and operational disclosures have been substantially expanded, though the specific substantive policy changes cannot be fully determined from the provided diff excerpt, which shows primarily technical markup changes and minor text refinements.
Ford's updated privacy policy now explicitly states it governs data collection, use, sharing, and protection across all Ford websites, apps, and services, rather than limiting its scope to ford.com and owner.ford.com. This expanded framing indicates the policy applies more broadly to Ford's digital properties and potentially to data collected through connected vehicles and mobile applications. The policy continues to require vehicle owners to inform other drivers and passengers about privacy safeguards and to perform a Master/User Reset before selling or transferring a vehicle.
The updated policy expands its stated scope to cover all Ford digital properties and services rather than limiting itself to two named websites, which materially affects the breadth of Ford's asserted data governance authority. Organizations relying on Ford's privacy terms or processing Ford customer data should review the updated policy to understand what data practices are now covered and whether this affects their own compliance obligations.
→ Review the updated Ford Privacy Policy to understand how your data is collected, used, and shared across Ford's websites, apps, and services.
→ If you own or drive a Ford vehicle, inform other drivers and passengers about the privacy practices described in the policy.

→ The updated policy will apply to all Ford websites, apps, and services you use as stated in the revised terms.
→ If you do not perform a Master/User Reset before selling or transferring your vehicle, personal data stored in the vehicle may remain accessible to subsequent owners.
