Your organization can't see your personal information when you enroll a device in Microsoft Intune. Enrolling your device makes certain information, such as device model and serial number, visible to IT administrators and support people with administrator access. This article describes everything your organization can and can't access on an enrolled device, and explains why certain data is made visible.
We use the following terms in this article:
Support person: This is the person or department at your organization that you're supposed to contact if you're having problems with your device. They provide technical support for device setup, enrollment, and access.
IT administrator: IT admin for short, this person or team of people configure the Microsoft Intune device management and enrollment settings for your organization. Some IT admins also provide technical support.

Things your organization can always see
Your organization can always see:
Device owner
Device name
Device serial number
Device model, such as Google Pixel
Device manufacturer, such as Microsoft
Operating system and version, such as iOS 12.0.1
Device IMEI
App inventory and app names, such as Microsoft Word
On personal devices, your organization can only see your managed app inventory, which includes work and school apps.
On corporate-owned devices, your organization can see all apps installed on the device.
On corporate-owned devices with a work profile, which is limited to Android devices, your organization can only see the apps installed in your work profile.
Note
Organizations cannot see all app inventory on Android Enterprise fully managed devices, corporate-owned work profile devices, and dedicated devices.
What is a managed app?
An app is considered a managed app when it's installed in one of the following ways:
You install it from the Company Portal app after your organization makes it available to you.
Your organization requires you to have a certain app for work and school and automatically installs it on the device upon enrollment.
Things your organization might see
Your organization can see and access certain aspects of your device when assisting with or troubleshooting device setup. This section describes the type of information available.
Phone number
If you're using a corporate-owned device (excluding corporate-owned devices with a work profile), your organization can see your full phone number. If you're using a personal device, they can see the last four digits of your phone number.
Tip
You can view the ownership type for your device on the Intune Company Portal > Device Details page.
Device storage space
If you have trouble installing a required app, your support person may look at your storage size to find out if low space is the cause.
Location
Corporate-owned device: Your organization can view the location of a lost device.
Personal device: Your organization can't view the location of a personal device.
Your organization can put a missing, corporate-owned iPhone or iPad into managed lost mode, which lets them request the location of the device. When someone requests access to the device location, the device locks and a message appears on the lock screen to explain what's happening. For more information about supervision, which is a type of configuration for corporate-owned Apple devices, see Get started with a supervised iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the Apple support docs.
App inventory details
Your organization can require you to install a mobile threat defense (MTD) app. If you're required to install an MTD app on your device:
Corporate-owned device: Your organization can view details about all apps on the device.
Personal-owned device: Your organization can't see any data, such as texts, emails, and pictures, in your personal apps. The MTD app does report information about your apps, such as name and version, to your organization. Your organization can view all the details about managed apps.
An IT admin can grant permission to apps in the work profile, both manually and by automation. The IT admin does this to reduce the number of prompts you receive. The permissions could be for things like the camera, microphone, and location. If your device is running Android 11, you'll receive a push notification when someone grants permission to an app.
Network information
Some information about network connections for Android devices may be available to your organization. For example, if your organization requires devices to remain within a certain building, your device would identify the network where it's connected.
Does the Microsoft Authenticator track me? The Microsoft authenticator does not track you and it does not log location data. It will list your logins to MCC-protected resources as a method for you to recognize unauthorized access attempts.
Device Enrollment allows organizations to have users manually enroll devices into a mobile device management (MDM) solution and then manage many different aspects of device use, including the ability to erase the device. On Mac computers using macOS 11 or later, Device Enrollment also enforces supervision on the Mac.
Employers need your permission before they can monitor texts on a personal device. The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits unreasonable search and seizure and may offer additional protection to public sector employees.
A: NO, your employer cannot spy on your personal phone. Your employer must obtain access to your personal phone to be able to monitor it. Also, your employer is not allowed to monitor your personal phone without your consent.
Your employer can also track which websites you visit while at work. This includes not just social media sites, but any website you visit - even if it's for personal reasons. Your employer could see that you're shopping on Amazon or reading the news when you should be working.
Your device enrolls in Microsoft Intune, a mobile device management provider, and registers with your organization. This step ensures that you're authorized to access your organization's email, apps, and Wi-Fi. Your organization's device management policies are applied to your device.
A: The Authenticator app collects your GPS information to determine what country you are located in. The country name and location coordinates are sent back to the system to determine if you are allowed to access the protected resource.
Can my employer see my Google activities? If you're using their equipment (phone, laptop, desktop) then you should assume that they can. If you're using your own equipment and don't have any “corporate policy” apps to use the company intranet, then your company would have to be hacking your personal equipment.
If you sign in to any website in Incognito mode, that site will know that you're the one browsing and can keep track of your activities from that moment on. Prevent your activity or location from being visible to the websites you visit, your school, employer, or your Internet Service provider.
Register your personal device (typically a phone or tablet) on your organization's network. After your device is registered, it will be able to access your organization's restricted resources.
The Apple Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) allows administrators to pre-provision iOS, iPadOS, and macOS devices to automatically self-enroll into Systems Manager before even touching them, and provides an additional level of management control through bulk device supervision.
On work-issued computers, employers can gather data from your keyboard, like how often you're typing, and even your webcam, if it's in your employment agreement. On corporate Internet connections, your employer probably can see which sites you visit, and it can access the emails you send from company accounts.
Wi-Fi owners, admins, and other prying eyes cannot read your text messages when you connect to their Wi-Fi. If you suspect someone is seeing your texts, they use other workarounds such as spy/monitoring apps.
Can my employer see my texts on WiFi? If by texts you mean SMS, they don't go through WiFi but the mobile network. If you mean messages sent through some app, all the ones I'm aware of use encryption. If your company can read your messages, law enforcement agencies might be interested in their services.
Your private messages on your personal device are generally protected from your employer. It would be difficult for an employer to claim that reviewing your personal communications on your personal device is necessary to serve a legitimate business purpose.
If you attach your smartphone to the corporate WiFi remember the company owns the WiFi. They can see where you go, what you tried to look at, what you tried to download and so on. They can't see what is on your phone or who exactly is doing what. But they can block your phone from accessing the network if they want.
Intune discovered apps is a list of detected apps on the Intune enrolled devices in your tenant. It acts as a software inventory for your tenant. Discovered apps is a separate report from the app installation reports. For personal devices, Intune never collects information on applications that are unmanaged.
You might see a message in your settings that your business or school can monitor your internet traffic and locate your device. The only time your administrator can view the location of your iPhone or iPad is if they put your device into Managed Lost Mode.
