The updated Terms no longer disclose how Ford collects customer reviews, manages the third-party vendor (MaritzCX) responsible for survey administration, or applies moderation standards to published feedback. Previously, the Terms explained that reviews are moderated to remove profanity, fraud, personal identifying information, competitor references, dangerous behavior, and inadequate text. Users can no longer see these operational details or understand what standards govern how their submitted reviews are processed and displayed.
