The lawsuit, filed by advertising tech employee Amar Bhakta, claimed that the company violated California law in multiple ways.
Apple is being sued by a worker after being accused of spying on its staff through their own iClouds and personal devices, and breaking other laws.
Bhakta, who has worked at Apple since 2020, also said that privacy policies made him remove his Apple employment details off LinkedIn and wouldn’t let him publicly speak about digital advertising. Bhakta, who is represented by Jahan C. Sagafi from Outten and Golden, as well as Chris Baker from Baker Dolinko & Schwartz, said in a press release: “I hope this complaint causes Apple to change their approach to monitoring employees outside of work and reminds employees that they have the power to stand up too.”
“By Apple’s design, most employees instead use a personal iPhone for work reasons,” the suit said. “Apple then claims the right to access, search and use all the Private Life Data contained on the Apple devices Apple compels its employees to use.”
