Ford's privacy policy underwent minor formatting and navigation updates detected on July 22, 2026.

Ford updated its privacy policy effective January 16, 2026, with 8 sentence-level modifications across multiple sections. The primary changes involve clarifications to connected vehicle data sharing icons and descriptions, updates to contact information formatting, and adjustments to how material policy changes will be communicated to users.

Ford's US Privacy Notice effective date was updated to January 16, 2026, and the document was reorganized with expanded sections on connected vehicle data collection and icon displays. The policy now includes more granular disclosure of what vehicle data, driving data, and location information are collected and shared through FordPass integration, and clarifies when and how users can see data-sharing status through in-vehicle indicators. The substantive privacy authority and data processing practices remain largely consistent with the prior version, though the presentation and disclosure transparency have been materially expanded.

Ford updated its privacy notice effective January 16, 2026, modifying language describing connected vehicle data sharing.

The operational effect is a restructuring of how Ford presents data-sharing disclosures to vehicle owners, with no change to the underlying data collection practices themselves.
