Privacy Information
When a mobile phone connects to SYNC,
the system creates a profile that links to
that mobile 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
mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile 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 70).

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.
Using Voice Recognition
This system helps you control many
features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the
wheel and focus on what is in front of you.
The system provides feedback through
audible tones, prompts, questions and
spoken confirmations depending on the
situation and the chosen level of
interaction (voice settings).
The system also asks short questions
(confirmation prompts) when it is not sure
of your request or when there are multiple
possible responses to your request.
When using voice commands, words and
icons may appear in the lower left status
bar indicating the status of the voice
command session.
