Summary

This is Ford Motor Company's privacy policy covering personal information collected through Ford websites, mobile apps, the FordPass platform, and connected vehicle systems. The policy discloses that Ford collects and may share precise geolocation data, driving behavior records, vehicle diagnostic information, financial information, and audio or visual data with affiliates, dealers, advertising partners, analytics providers, and other third parties. California residents and consumers in certain other states are provided rights to request access to, deletion of, or correction of their personal information, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of their data.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is Ford Motor Company's privacy policy governing the collection, use, and sharing of personal information from consumers who interact with Ford's websites (ford.com, owner.ford.com), mobile applications, connected vehicles, and related services, with stated legal bases varying by jurisdiction. The policy states that Ford collects identifiers, contact information, vehicle data (including location and driving behavior), financial information, biometric identifiers, internet or network activity, audio and visual data, and inferences drawn from collected data; the agreement states that Ford shares this information with affiliates, dealers, service providers, advertising and analytics partners, and other third parties for purposes including marketing, vehicle diagnostics, safety, and research. The policy discloses collection of precise geolocation data and driving behavior information through connected vehicle systems, and the document asserts broad rights to use vehicle-generated data for product development and business purposes, which may be subject to applicable state privacy laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar state frameworks. The policy engages CCPA and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which establish specific rights for California residents including the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information; the document also references compliance obligations for other US state privacy laws. Ford's connected vehicle data collection practices, including precise location tracking and driving behavior monitoring, may require evaluation under applicable state biometric and location privacy statutes, and the breadth of data categories collected and shared with third parties warrants review by compliance professionals assessing data mapping and vendor management obligations.
