HEY!!! I WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH!!!

[flightsimmer]

Can an employer track your Smart Phone (GPS) without your permission or knowledge?

If so, can you avoid it?

 

[KLB]

Is it a company supplied phone or did you sign an agreement saying they can?

 

[chezuki]

You can't handle the truth!!!

 

[phylodog]

If they own the phone I believe they can.

Anything and everything leaves a foot print nowdays. Adjust accordingly.

Most people don't realize that a lot of companies not only track your phone they listen in and record, landlines included if ya don't believe this YOU KANT HANDLE THE TRUTH.

Is it a company supplied phone or did you sign an agreement saying they can?

No, it's my phone, not the company's.

 

[flightsimmer]

You can't handle the truth!!!

You may be right, I might go postal on them.

I know my company does but it's their phone so,they're more than welcome to do as they wish with it. As for my personal phone don't care as I don't carry it at work. I figure the Government tracks everything and if they want to know my pizza ordering habits,more power to em.

No, it's my phone, not the company's.

Then no, of course not.

Have you ever left it unattended at work or couldn't find it at work, or let a superior use your phone?

If so, "they" could have covertly down loaded & installed a location tracking software that does'nt show up as an app. Or activated a "friends tracking app" that runs in the background, so they can tell your location at anytime.

If they're really good and sneaky, they may have "pinging" capability which tracks the phone by it's constant RF output.

Ammo can works real well for this.

The company I work for has gotten so inept at everything in the last few years, if they COULD track my phone, I'd probably get a pop up alert saying "hi, this is the tech guy at ------- industries, we are tracking your phone".

Manager: "I believe your employee locating device is turned off."

Employee: "Excuse me?"

Manager: "I think you call it a smart phone."

Employee: "I have some concerns about this."

Manager: "Text them to yourself....I'll read them later."

Apparently my work doesn't .........I would have been fired years ago.

My work has the ability to track and completely wipe my issued phone. It's the reason it stays at the office once I leave for the day. As for our personal phones they can only track if given permission which is a requirement if you use their software. They can also wipe it with said installed software. This is why I don't have anything work related on my phone.
Keep in mind if you log into the wifi at work, there is a good chance they could be monitoring Your activity as well.

What are you trying to hide?

Everything.

I'm a delivery driver and I rode with a co-worker today and he believes that our company can track everywhere we go and how fast were going by our phones.
Personally I don't think they have time for that kind of stuff. Were on a pretty tight schedule and have no time to spare galavanting around on our own but he is convinced because they accused him of doing 75mph in a 55mph zone and he said he wasn't, I believe him.
Now I know that there are apps to keep tabs on your kids where abouts but don't you have to have position of there phone to install it?
