A European court case has once again highlighted that you might be
getting snooped on by your employer — and you might not even know it.
Many employers have the right to look in on the communications of their employees, and might not even necessarily need to tell them, experts have said.
But there are some ways of hiding information away from your employer — extreme though they might be.
The main thing to do is to ensure that your work devices and your personal ones don’t get mixed up. To be most safe, you should be sure that there is nothing on your work device that isn’t work, and vice versa — even having your work email app on your phone means that it could be used for work, and potentially blurs the boundary.
