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.
If you are accessing your work email through your phone, you’re going to be pinging the server with your phone’s IP address. Duo isn’t adding any tracking beyond that.
