How much privacy would i be sacrificing to have my work email on my personal phone? - Lemmy.World

I’m non-techy. I work for a public school district and visit with kids in about a dozen schools. I like having my work email on my phone so teachers can get in touch if they need me. For years we’ve just used the outlook app with no real issues that I’ve noticed. We’re seeing more and more micromanagement and it sucks. We recently got notice that we have to install Cisco Duo on our phones if we want to have our email on it. Should i do that? Or just say no and be ok with being out of contact?

Duo is Cisco’s version of authentication. The only permissions it has on my phone is notifications.

In its current form, it doesn’t appear to let your company’s IT department control your phone.

Do you have any concerns about having it? I mostly don’t want my phone activities or location tracked.
Duo tracks your location. Not exact location but IP address and city.
Only IP address. Location days from IP address is a guess at best
