The post is titled "Ford PASS is free for all owners"Not sure what you mean, I never said Uconnect was free. My question was if our Jeep Guardian service would ever be free.
The post is titled "Ford PASS is free for all owners"
Then you said "I learned that Ford Pass, the equivalent to uconnect, is now free to Ford owners"
We all know that Uconnect is free, just like Ford's PASS is free.
Confusing. Now I see your issue is that Sirius XM Guardian should be free. But what does that have to do with Ford's PASS being free?
well you better get off the internet, your cellphone, and email because they all do the same thing. People are so paranoid...oh and the government loves to listen in on your landline calls too.Hi Andrew, while its correct that you can opt-out of some data collection, there is other data that you cannot opt out of without disconnecting the antennae of your wired vehicle.
Here is Ford's privacy policy (Sep 2020): https://www.ford.com/help/privacy/ It included sections about:
There is a separate privacy policy for Ford-Pass which is defined as a supplement (added-on) to the main Ford privacy policy.
- info you provide to us
- info from your vehicle
- info from your devices
- info we generate about you
- info from affiliates and other sources
This thread is about Ford-Pass being free. It is not free. When you sign-up for an account, you are authorizing them to collect data about you.
Here is an article from Consumer Reports that covers vehicle collected data in general. Its pretty spooky how much info can be collected if you have all the bells and whistles: https://www.consumerreports.org/automotive-technology/who-owns-the-data-your-car-collects/
I fully stand behind my assertion: nothing in life is free. Not facebook, not google, not FM radio, not Ford Pass. In all of those programs "you" the consumer are the product.
