Visual privacy

Core allows you to display privacy information to device users.

Visual privacy describes to users what device information is collected and why, and what actions administrators can take on the device, based on Core settings. Additionally, Core notifies users when changes are made to the privacy policy or MDM profile settings.

Users view the visual privacy information during registration, when they must accept the privacy policy.

If both custom terms of service and the privacy policy are enabled, users will have to accept the privacy policy first.

Enabling visual privacy for devices

When enabled, end-users will be able to learn more about the privacy of their data. Mobile@Work will show what content stays private on the device, what information is collected and why, and what actions the IT administrator can take on the debice, according to the settings on the server. This can help reduce end-user questions and concerns.

Procedure 

  1. Go to Settings > System Settings > Users & Devices > Registration.
  2. Select Enable privacy settings in Mobile@Work.

  3. Click Save.
