Is MDM like Microsoft Intune an invasion of privacy?
My work recently stopped allowing my outlook emails to my personal phone. I now have to download this stupid app to get them.
How much of your private info can they see?
Thanks!

Do you get paid a stipend for cell use? Do you have the option of being provided a business phone? What is your company's BYOD policy?

I work for a tech company. Don't get paid a stipend. I am trying to avoid a double cell phone scenario, but i might ask for a business phone. I have nothing to hide, but i dont want my banking info available, info wiped if i lose my phone, nor my constant location tracked.
The BYOD policies are encouraged because the security level we have is already high.

I have it installed on PCs. If it's Windows 10 you can see applications installed, sevices running, and basic specs. Intune also lets you push out applications so other "spyware" could be remotely installed.
That being said. The most likely reason it's installed is to wipe the device if you lose it.

Never heard of Intune, but I deployed a different MDM at previous job. Technically some of them have the ability to basically take over your phone, but those types of policies are intended and only SHOULD be used for control over company owned mobile devices. One of the main purposes of MDM is to separate private data and company data. Your company probably had Exchange, and when you add the account you basically give them permission to wipe your phone. That's in case it gets lost they can wipe it so that company info isn't lost/unaccounted for. The problem is that it wipes the whole phone. On personal/BYODs you don't want to or at minimum don't care to wipe the whole deivce, just the corporate data. For example, if a problem employee with some highly confidential emails quits to go to a rival company or is fired, you want that corporate data on that phone removed ASAP. MDM provides a way to do that. MDM products are designed to segment all the corporate data so that it can be remotely managed while leaving whatever personal info on the phone alone. There are other features like pushing/blocking apps, geofencing, disabling features, pushing wifi/vpn policies etc.
The short answer to your question is it depends, and if you are concerned contact your company IT about what policies are pushed out by Intune. In reality IT folks don't give a shite what you do as long as it doesn't wreck their systems causing them to have to do more work.
