Introduction 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).
