This provision establishes the procedural rights available to California residents regarding their personal information held by Ford, including an opt-out mechanism for data sale and sharing and a non-retaliation commitment, as required under CCPA and CPRA.
Interpretive note: The precise procedural details of Ford's consumer rights request mechanism, including response timeframes and identity verification requirements, could not be fully confirmed from the truncated document text.
The updated privacy policy establishes a more structured disclosure framework with explicit California privacy rights information and cookie consent management. The revised terms now route California residents to supplemental privacy notices that explain collection practices and provide mechanisms to exercise privacy rights. The removal of specific language describing customer review collection processes and dealership moderation standards means these details are now consolidated into the main privacy notice rather than appearing in review-specific sections. You can access California-specific privacy rights and consent options through the links provided in the updated privacy notice.

"California residents have the right to know about personal information we collect and how it is used and shared, the right to delete personal information we have collected, the right to correct inaccurate personal information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.— Excerpt from Ford's Ford Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly engages the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and the California Attorney General. Specific CPRA provisions require response to consumer rights requests within 45 days, mandate a designated opt-out mechanism, and require disclosure of sensitive personal information categories and their uses. Ford's vehicle location and driving behavior data collection implicates CPRA's sensitive personal information category requirements. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. Failure to implement functional opt-out mechanisms, respond to rights requests within required timeframes, or honor opt-out signals including Global Privacy Control creates direct enforcement exposure under CPRA. The CPPA has active enforcement authority and has issued enforcement guidance on opt-out signal honoring requirements. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California creates primary exposure; however, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws have enacted similar rights frameworks with varying response timelines and enforcement mechanisms. Ford's compliance program must account for the varying requirements across these jurisdictions based on applicable processing thresholds. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Ford's consumer rights request workflow must extend to data held or processed by service providers and contractors on Ford's behalf, requiring contractual provisions enabling Ford to fulfill deletion and correction requests for data held downstream. Vendor agreements should confirm service providers can process and respond to consumer rights request obligations on behalf of Ford. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should confirm that Ford's consumer rights request portal operates within required CPRA response timeframes and that requests are being honored consistently across all data systems, including connected vehicle telematics platforms. The non-discrimination commitment should be operationalized in internal policies to prevent denial of services or differential pricing to consumers who exercise CCPA/CPRA rights. Annual CPRA data category disclosures should be reviewed for accuracy and completeness.
