Privacy Information
When a cell phone connects to SYNC, the
system creates a profile that links to that
cell phone. The system creates the profile
to offer you more mobile features and to
operate more efficiently. Among other
things, this profile may contain data about
your phonebook, text messages (read and
unread) and call history. This includes the
history of calls when your cell phone was
not connected to the system. If you
connect a media player, the system
creates and retains an index of supported
media content. The system also records a
short development log of approximately
10 minutes of all recent system activity.
Use the log profile and other system data
to improve the system and help diagnose
any problems that may occur.
The cell phone profile, media player index
and development log remain in the system
unless deleted. They are generally
accessible in your vehicle only when you
connect your cell phone or media player.
If you no longer plan to use the system or
your vehicle, we recommend you complete
a master reset to erase all stored
information. See
Information Displays
(page 72).
Special equipment is required to access
system data. Access to your vehicle's
SYNC module is also required. We will not
access the system data for any purpose
other than as described without consent.
Examples where we can access system
data are for a court order, 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 us. Further privacy information is
available.
