Concerns about privacy when device is managed by Intune

Question

I'm new to Intune. I want to know what my company can see if my device is managed by Intune. Did my company see anything from my device? Will Intune compromise my privacy?

@cherryandrew Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

For this issue, when your device is enrolled to Intune.

Your organization can't see:

• Calling and web browsing history
• Email and text messages
• Contacts
• Calendar
• Passwords
• Pictures, including what's in the photos app or camera roll
• Content of user created documents

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

For more details, please refer to the following article:

So, it depends on your how you define private information.

Hope it will help.

Answer 2

Dear Cherry,

Thank you for reaching out with your concerns here at Q&A portal. When a device is enrolled in Microsoft Intune for company management, organisations can typically oversee work-related data and configurations to ensure security and compliance. The level of access granted depends on the configuration of Intune by your IT department.

Intune generally allows administrators to manage corporate apps, enforce security policies, and monitor compliance, but not personal data, private emails or browsing history. For instance, administrators can view installed work applications, the compliance status of devices, and corporate data. They cannot access personal files, private messages, or non-work activities (unless using a corporate account).

For full transparency, we recommend reviewing your company's IT policy or contacting your IT support team to clarify what monitoring applies in your specific case. Microsoft also provides detailed guidance on Intune's privacy capabilities.
