Hello all, feeling a bit creeped out at the moment, but maybe I am getting ahead of myself.
I was hesitant to enable ford pass after reading all the data collection but I figured it would be cool to take advantage of all the features.
My mind was quickly changed after this very interesting event!
I had set up ford pass on 10/1 went through the options ticked boxes here and there thought it was pretty cool to locate my car, set security notifications when the doors opened start it etc.. etc.. I specifically did not want to record journeys, I find it a bit much (yep mini-tin foil hat here).
So on to the weirdness, I made an appointment with a dealer for an oil change and 24 hours before that appointment at 7:13am it looks like journeys just started to appear.
I didn't check till 11/2 when I saw every drive I made from 10/29 to 11/2 was right there in the app under my journeys ALL WHILE the journey setting remained off.
Did Ford or the dealer enable journeys prior to the appointment to gather some data on the car?
I just don't see how journeys decided to start recording 24 hrs before a dealer appointment with the option being off.
Screenshots attached, I am about to start pulling fuses, WTF!?
