Technology giant Apple has been accused of illegally spying on its employees' devices and iCloud accounts.
Amar Bakht, an employee in the company's digital advertising department, filed a lawsuit against Apple in California on Sunday (December 2).
Amar said Apple requires employees to give up their right to privacy as a condition of employment.
The lawsuit also alleges that Apple requires employees to agree to a policy that allows physical, video and electronic surveillance while they are at home.
Apple requires employees to install software on personal devices used for any work. This software allows Apple to access certain applications on the employee's personal device.
In this case, the Apple ecosystem is not a garden for employees, it is a prison yard, and that Apple is monitoring employees whether they are at work or not, and that Apple is spying on employees' personal data.
According to media reports, Apple's policy states that any data associated with an employee's personal account when using their personal device is subject to company search. This includes emails, photos, videos, notes and other things.
Amar Bakht also accused Apple in the lawsuit of restricting its employees' speech by not allowing them to talk about their working conditions and salaries. The company also says that it restricts employees' political activities.
Apple denies all allegations
Media reports say that Apple issued a statement saying that there is no evidence to the claims made in the lawsuit.
Company spokesman Josh Rosenstock said, "At Apple, we are focused on delivering the best products and services in the world. We work to protect the innovations our teams have made for our customers.
Every employee has the right to discuss their salary, working hours and conditions, as part of our business conduct policy.
We provide training to all employees on this every year. We strongly deny this claim, and there is no evidence to support it."
