Microsoft InTune
Discussion
I have a personal phone which I use for work, emails and calendar vis Microsoft Exchange/Outlook.
For GPDR reasons, they want to install InTune (Comp Portal) to give remote access to disable my emails in case my phone gets lost. I'll be honest, I'm looking for another job currently so have various emails and websearches going on.
I'm a naturally cynical person and this is beyond my understanding (can't use spanners to fix it).... would they be able to see access any of that traffic or any of my personal data or does InTune only allow them to control my email and calendar?

It doesn't look like it gives them access to your phone and your information and given that would be a GDPR breach it seems unlikely that they would want to go that route.
It does give them control over their data on your phone and it would come with their security policy so you might not be able to use face or fingerprint unlock and have to use a corporate password that changes every 90 days, rather than your own lax but convenient approach, but that depends how it's setup.
I wish my work would let us use it, I'd love to be able to plug my work calendar into my personal phone without having to carry a work mobile around with me.

Perfect, many thanks. That last link was exactly what I was hoping to find. Not sure why I didn't find it using google, guess I'm just a Luddite!
You're welcome.For what it's worth most IT people really don't care what you use your personal phone for.
If you have company data on it and lose it auditors and general good practise needs us to be able to demonstrate we have some chance of wiping our stuff from it.
It's Intune by the way 
Just to tag onto the non tinfoil hat stuff on here there is a section in the company portal app that tells you what the admins can and cannot see on your phone as well.
Honestly though, no one cares if you are looking at porn or jobsites, usually because they don't have time to check for it but mainly because people aren't as interesting as they think they are. Although in a BYOD scenario I wouldn't ask for full enrollment but simply insist you use the Outlook app, then apply all my DLP config to that.

I have intune on my personal mobile, never had an issue or any thought of any kind of hint of my personal data or browsing history been viewed remotely.
I have fingerprint lock on my phone anyway so unsure if intune would have enforced that or not but its not set any other nanny restrictions on my phone since having it on.
