Since the advent of computers in business, the average user has seen the light to be able to do some, if not complete, private business with the media provided. From a user perspective, I certainly agree. I won't lie, I myself have printed out a concert ticket at the office or watched series/films on my laptop in a boring hotel room. And let's be honest, private e-mail is also a thing. I dare say that everyone in the business world does private business on business devices in one way or another. Now, according to various case law, that is not a problem. Since you also do something for work at home, you are also allowed to do something private at work. The line has to be drawn somewhere, because you are balancing between privacy, user-friendliness and security. I dedicate this blog to the fact that there really has to be a balance between the three. I try to make this clear by means of a number of scenarios that I have encountered.
Company Phone: The One Point You Need to Consider
One of the first and in my opinion also one of the most important points is the chinese overseas america data use of the 'company phone'. Regardless of the different definitions of the company phone, because there are quite a few of them, I mean the following: a phone that allows the user to do business transactions, such as SMS, phone calls and e-mail. Private use on a business phone also means private SMS, phone calls and e-mail .
Simple example: my private and business emails arrive on the same device. In addition to email, you also have WhatsApp, Facebook and, not unimportantly, the phone's camera. What you ultimately have is a phone that contains both private and business data at the same time. Now that we have this clear, I present the following dilemma. An old colleague and now valued friend discovered that in a similar situation, the company in question had the rights to remotely erase the phone in the event of a data leak (theft, hack, etc.). This was stated in the small print of the user agreement. Now, not everyone will jump at that, I understand. But if someone at the company gets the idea, your entire phone memory can be remotely erased... without you being able to do anything about it, legally, technically or physically!
Everything on the phone will be lost. Since phones are currently seen as a hot hackable item, it only increases the chance that at some point your phone will be attacked, forcing the company to take measures. So besides the fact that the company can impose restrictions on certain matters, it can also actually change/delete private information without asking and irrevocably.
It seems like a decades-old dilemma; should you or shouldn’t you use business equipment for personal purposes?
