I figured there was a lot of data tracking because it's not uncommon for my infotainment center to crash my Apple CarPlay connection when a message pops up saying my truck is sending data to Ford. Like damn, chill out Ford. Let me live a little.

I don't have good news for you about your Ford...
I looked up my truck and it doesn't seem that bad.
Oh good
I hope so lol. A lot of the data they say they collect or don't collect matches up with the purpose they tell me for why it gets collected. Whether it goes beyond that I'm not sure but at least it matches up there.
