This provision establishes the operational scope of Ford's data sharing authority and clarifies the separate governance structure for dealer data practices. It creates a distinction between Ford's direct data responsibilities and dealers' independent privacy obligations, requiring users to review dealer policies separately to understand how dealers will handle shared personal information.
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 →Under this clause, Ford has the authority to disclose personal information to Ford dealers, and users' data handling by those dealers will be subject to the dealers' own privacy policies rather than Ford's stated practices. Users must independently contact dealers or review their policies to understand how dealers will process the shared personal information.
