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).

thereby removing GPS mapping ability, a Master Reset can be performed
in the vehicle. See Settings in the MyLincoln Touch chapter.

execute a Master Reset or Factory Reset (completed via the MyLincoln
Mobile website). Either method will remove the vehicle from all
MyLincoln Mobile accounts.
