This provision operationalizes California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requirements by specifying the categories of consumer rights Ford recognizes and establishing the procedural mechanisms—portal submission or telephone contact—through which California residents may exercise those rights.
The updated privacy policy effective January 16, 2026 modifies how Ford will notify you if it makes material changes to this policy. Previously, the language stated Ford would provide notice to enable you to exercise rights regarding your personal information. The revised language now states notice will be provided 'as may be required by law,' meaning Ford's obligation to notify you depends on applicable legal requirements rather than a contractual commitment to advance notice. Additionally, the policy clarifies connected vehicle data sharing icons and descriptions to better explain when Vehicle Data, Vehicle Location, and Driving Data are being transmitted from your vehicle.
View change record →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.
View change record →The provision was renamed to reference CCPA/CPRA explicitly, added a new right to correct inaccurate personal information, removed the 'limit use of sensitive information' right, and removed the specific contact method (1-800-392-3673).
View full change record →California residents operating under these terms may initiate privacy requests through designated channels to obtain information about Ford's data handling practices, request deletion or correction of personal information, restrict sale or sharing activities, and limit use of sensitive personal information without facing discriminatory treatment in service terms or pricing.
