The new ford hud's/entertainment systems ('19) have quite a lot of "EU only" settings correlated to sending data and EuroNCAP test requirements which are not enabled now but can be if required (I decompiled the programs looking for specific settings). I'm pretty sure most data gathering is off at the moment and you can always remove the connectivity module which also disables remote start and stuff of course. In that case, also do not connect to your phone via WiFi as it will try to connect to the internet though it.
At the moment it only sends your VIN, installed updates and the configuration data and as far as the internet has figured out nothing is done with it, but it is worrying.
You still have to opt in to the FordPass systems though.
