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.
Data controllers, vendors, partners: Ford's privacy policy now covers more digital properties and services than the prior version explicitly named.
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.
→ 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.
→ If you plan to sell or transfer a Ford vehicle, perform a Master/User Reset of the vehicle before it leaves your possession.
