GPS Tracking employees

[rugatika]

So the company I work for wants us all to install GPS tracking/check in software for "safety" on our phones. I went to install it and you had to give it access to your photo/media files, call logs, bluetooth connections, location of course, etc. Seemed pretty intrusive to me, especially to be installing on my personal phone.

I understand this is up to them and I have no say in the tracking part, but am I being unreasonable to refuse this? I told them, if they want to track us, that's their decision to make, and within their legal rights, but I won't be installing it on my phone. They can supply a work phone for their tracking software. Frankly, I'm creeped out by this latest innovation, and I'm not sure I'm even going to stick around, despite being with this company for many, many years.

They say they aren't going to use it for tracking, and it's just for safety.
