It’s unusual these days for an employee not to have a device issued by their employer, or on which they can access their employer’s information — cell phones, tablets, laptops, and other computing devices.
Conventional wisdom (California notwithstanding) is that if the employer owns the device, the employee has zero privacy rights in that device, its use, or the information stored on it.
That conventional wisdom, however, might be changing.
The Federal Trade Commission just announced the settlement of charges it had brought against the developer of certain “stalking” apps.
