   strategies

5. Other (Non-Personally Identifiable) Information We Collect From Site
Visitors:

ford.co.za collects other “non-personally identifiable information” from site
visitors. This means that we do not track these items on an individual basis
that identifies the site visitor, but rather gather and collect this information
on an aggregate [or anonymous] basis that includes all site visitors.
Non-personally identifiable information includes tracking the site pages that
are visited or the amount of time spent on our site.

If you visit this site using a mobile device, we collect additional
non-personally identifiable information which may include the type/model of the
mobile device viewing the site and the mobile device’s service provider and
operating system.

Our primary goal in collecting non-personally identifiable information from you
is to be able to perform site metrics that allow us to improve the functionality
of the website.

We may use session and persistent “cookies,” session logs, spotlight ads/web
beacons/GIF/pixel tags, banner ads or links, and third-party click tracking
analytics tools (such as Adobe) to collect aggregate or other non-personally
identifiable information about site visitors. An explanation on collection
methods and how they work is included in paragraph7 - Methods to Collect
Information, below.

6. How We Use the Aggregate or Non-Personally Identifiable Information We
Collect:

Non-Personally identifiable information collected on ford.co.za may be used to:

 * Compile aggregate and statistical data to help in website design and to
   identify popular features
 * Measure site activity to allow us to update our site to better meet user
   wants and needs
 * Provide you content that may be of interest to you based on pages visited and
   items viewed
 * Make the user experience more customer friendly
 * Develop new and improved products, services and marketing

ford.co.za utilizes non-personally identifiable information for the purpose of
performing analytics on the user’s experience while visiting this site. This
analysis:

 * Is performed on an aggregate level and does not identify you or your
   information personally
 * May involve the use of a third-party vendor acting on behalf of ford.co.za
 * Is performed in order to improve our website and the user experience
 * May include the use of session and/or persistent cookies to track user
   movement across this and other Ford

7. Methods to Collect Information:

A “cookie” is a small text file that helps us in many ways to make your visit to
our website more enjoyable and meaningful to you. For example, cookies avoid you
having to log in every time you come back to one of our websites. They also
allow us to tailor a website or advertisement to better match your interests and
preferences. There are a couple different types of cookies.

A “session” cookie is stored only in your computer’s working memory (RAM) and
only lasts for your browsing session. When you close all your browser’s windows,
or when you shut down your computer, the session cookie disappears forever.

A “persistent” cookie is stored on your computer’s hard drive until a specified
date, which could be tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now. Persistent
cookies stay on your computer until either a) they expire, b) they are
overwritten with newer cookies, or c) you manually remove them. Most browsers
can be configured not to accept cookies, however, this may prevent you from
having access to some site functions or features.

This site may use third-party click tracking analytics tools (such as Adobe) to
capture click-through statistics.

ford.co.za may use spotlight ads/web beacons/GIF/pixel tags which are site
instrumentation tools that help us to determine, for instance, whether a page
has been viewed or not and, if so, how many times. Emails or electronic
newsletters we send may use tools (e.g., pixel tags or web beacons) to gather
email metrics and information to improve the reader’s experience such as how
many of the emails are opened, if they were printed or forwarded, the type of
device (e.g., mobile or PC) from which they were opened, and the city, state,
and county associated with the applicable IP address. In general, any electronic
image viewed as part of a webpage, including an ad banner, can act as a web
beacon.

This website may generate a “session log” when you visit our site. We use
session logs to help us determine how people travel through our site. In this
way, we can structure our pages so that the information most frequently visited
is easier to find. By tracking page visits, we can also determine if the
information we’re providing is being used. The only data gathered is the
Internet Protocol (IP) address from which you came, the website that referred
you, the pages you visited and the date and time of those visits.

Users may be directed to ford.co.za via banner ads or site links. Ads or site
links that are placed by ford.co.za use cookies or web beacons to deliver
metrics on the effectiveness of the ads or links. They do not collect personally
identifiable information from the user.

8. Sharing Your Information:

ford.co.za does not share, sell, or rent personally identifiable information
with independent companies for their own use without providing you a choice.

Personally identifiable information that you provide to us in the course of
requesting a product or service through this website may be gathered and stored

you for things like promotional offers, marketing programs, or other
communications from this website or other Ford Motor Company programs and

other companies within the Ford Motor Company family of companies or
subsidiaries. Our “family of companies” is the group of companies related to us
by common control or ownership. We share information within this “family” as a
normal part of conducting business and, if legally permissible, offering
products and services to our customers.

with our authorized dealers. This is necessary, such as, in order to honour your
request for a price quote on a vehicle or in order to provide a dealer with
information for purposes of contacting you in their regular course of business.

conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Ford
Motor Company, its affiliates or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or
