Privacy information

When a cellular phone is connected to SYNC

௡, SYNC௡ creates a profile

within your vehicle that is linked to that cellular phone. This profile is
created in order to offer you more cellular features and to operate more
efficiently. Among other things, this profile may contain data about your
cellular phone book, text messages (read and unread), and call history,
including history of calls when your cell phone was not connected to
SYNC

௡. In addition, if you connect a media device, SYNC௡ creates and

retains an index of media content supported by SYNC

௡. SYNC௡ also

records a short development log of approximately 10 minutes of all
recent SYNC

௡ activity. The log profile and other SYNC௡ data may be

used to improve SYNC

௡ and help diagnose any problems that may occur.

The cellular profile, media device index, and development log will remain
in the vehicle unless you delete it and are generally accessible only in the
vehicle when the cellular phone or media player is connected. If you no
longer plan to use SYNC

௡ or the vehicle, we recommend you perform a

Master Reset to erase all information stored in SYNC

௡.

SYNC

௡ data cannot be accessed without special equipment and access to

the vehicle’s SYNC

௡ module. Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada

will not access SYNC

௡ data for any purpose other than as described

absent consent, a court order, or where required by law enforcement,
other government authorities, or other third parties acting with lawful
authority. Other parties may seek to access the information
independently of Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada. For further
privacy information, see the sections on 911 Assist™ (if equipped),
Vehicle Health Report (if equipped), and Traffic, Directions and
Information (if equipped).
