Since when are companies installing MDM on peoples personal devices?
It is usually just for corporate devices, where you shouldn’t leave any personal data on.
I quit my job of over a decade using the same phone and email, I left to go competition. I gave them all my passwords.
I’ve kept my personal phone a lot longer than I had theirs lol
Separate profile and container. Idiot meme.
MDM when configured properly only get a specific section of your phone that’s separate from your personal use section, so they don’t see your apps and personal data.
But, in all honesty, no one is going to be looking at it unless there’s a very good reason too. IT sure as hell doesn’t have enough resources to monitor it.
MDM largely exists to remote wipe a lost or stolen phone.
In reality, yes there will be snooping. I’ve had a new colleague that had to explain why they had parked several times near the HQ of a competitor outside working hours. Answer: he lived in that village and his favorite bakery was were he had parked. After that he removed the company tracker from his car, a car that he was leasing and paying for himself. He had only installed the tracker as a courtesy to facilitate on site personnel tracking and it was abused in the shortest order.
Anything that can be abused, will be abused.
