Short transcript of a Caitlin Sarian YouTube video explaining that employers can monitor company-provided computers and phones (emails, messages, browsing, apps, location, keystrokes, screenshots) because devices are company property; the clip gives practical tips to protect personal information, such as keeping personal activity off company devices, being cautious about searches, and reviewing employee agreements.
Your boss can see everything you do on your company computer and phone. If you're using company provided computer or phone, your employer can monitor your emails, messages, Internet browsing history, any apps or software you're using, how long you're using them for, even your location if your device has GPS enabled. Why do they do this? Because those devices are technically company property and monitoring is often allowed under your employment agreement. Some companies even install software that tracks keystrokes and takes screenshots without you knowing. But it doesn't stop there. If you log into personal accounts like your email or social media on a company device, your employer could access that information too. Here's some tips to protect 1. Keep personal activity off company devices. Use your own phone or computer for personal emails, social media and shopping. 2. Be cautious about what you say or search. Assume anything you do on a company Device could be seen. 3. Review your employee agreement. Understand what.
