Apple Inc. is facing a lawsuit in California state court, accusing the company of improperly monitoring employees’ personal devices and iCloud accounts.

Amar Bhakta, employed in Apple’s digital advertising sector since 2020, filed the complaint.

He alleges that Apple requires employees to install software on personal devices used for work.

This software purportedly grants Apple access to personal information, including emails and health data.

The lawsuit further claims Apple enforces strict confidentiality policies, hindering discussions about pay, working conditions, and potential whistleblower actions.

In response, an Apple spokesperson said the allegations lack merit and highlighted the company’s annual training for employees on their rights to discuss workplace matters.
