When does it go too far and become an invasion of privacy?
My company wants me to start using my personal phone for business email and such. But before I’m allowed to do that I have to sign an agreement and install their spyware that tracks everything on my personal device and gives them a back door where they have carte blanche to tunnel into it anytime they want and delete anything they choose, up to wiping my entire device. Without any notice.
The agreement says it is “not our intent” to collect personal data unrelated to work. Which I notice doesn’t actually say they won’t and sounds like legal speak for “we just collect everything”.
I told them what they could do with that agreement and if they are going to require this for my job I’ll expect them to provide a work phone for me.
