Privacy Notice for GPS Mapping with
MyLincoln Mobile
MyLincoln Mobile allows for GPS mapping
when a vehicle is registered to a MyLincoln
Mobile account. To remove the vehicle from
the account, thereby removing GPS mapping
ability, a Master Reset can be performed in
the vehicle. See Settings (page 442).
Before transferring ownership of a vehicle,
owners may choose to execute a Master
Reset or Factory Reset (completed via the
MyLincoln Mobile website). Either method
removes the vehicle from all MyLincoln
Mobile accounts.
It is recommended that new owners conduct
a Master Reset upon taking possession of
the vehicle to remove it from any existing
MyLincoln Mobile accounts. The new owner
can activate a MyLincoln Mobile account by
completing registration process on the
website. Website

Note: Make sure you have an active account
for the app that you have downloaded. Some
apps will work automatically with no setup.
Other apps will want you to configure your
personal settings and personalize your
experience by creating stations or favorites.
We recommend you do this at home or
outside of your vehicle.
Note: We encourage you to review the
smartphone app ’s terms of service and
privacy policies because Ford is not
responsible for your app or its use of data.
