# What information can my organization see when I enroll my device?

Your organization cannot see your personal information when you enroll a device with Microsoft Intune. When you enroll a device, you give your organization permission to view certain pieces of information on your device, such as device model and serial number. Your organization uses this information to help protect the corporate data on the device.

Your organization can't see your personal information when you enroll a device in Microsoft Intune. Enrolling your device makes certain information, such as device model and serial number, visible to IT administrators and support people with administrator access. This article describes everything your organization can and can't access on an enrolled device, and explains why certain data is made visible.

### What is a managed app?
77+
An app is considered a **managed app** when it's installed in one of the following ways:
78+
* You install it from the Company Portal app after your organization makes it available to you.
79+
* Your organization requires you to have a certain app for work and school and automatically installs it on the device upon enrollment.
80+
81+
## Things your organization might see
82+
83+
Your organization can see and access certain aspects of your device when assisting with or troubleshooting device setup. This section describes the type of information available.
84+
85+
### Phone number
86+
If you're using a corporate-owned device (excluding corporate-owned devices with a work profile), your organization can see your full phone number. If you're using a personal device, they can see the last four digits of your phone number.
87+
88+
> [!TIP]
89+
> You can view the ownership type for your device on the Intune Company Portal > **Device Details** page.
90+
91+
### Device storage space
92+
If you have trouble installing a required app, your support person may look at your storage size to find out if low space is the cause.
93+
94+
### Location
95+
96+
* Corporate-owned device: Your organization can view the location of a lost device.
97+
* Personal device: Your organization can't view the location of a personal device.
98+
99+
Your organization can put a missing, corporate-owned iPhone or iPad into *managed lost mode*, which lets them request the location of the device. When someone requests access to the device location, the device locks and a message appears on the lock screen to explain what's happening. For more information about *supervision*, which is a type of configuration for corporate-owned Apple devices, see [Get started with a supervised iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=853816) in the Apple support docs.
100+
101+
### App inventory details
102+
103+
Your organization can require you to install a mobile threat defense (MTD) app. If you're required to install an MTD app on your device:
104+
105+
* Corporate-owned device: Your organization can view details about all apps on the device.
106+
* Personal-owned device: Your organization can only view the details of your managed apps.
107+
108+
For more information about mobile threat defense, see [Install mobile threat defense app](set-up-mobile-threat-defense.md).
109+
110+
### App permissions
111+
*Applies to devices running Android 11 and earlier*
112+
113+
An IT admin can grant permission to apps in the work profile, both manually and by automation. The IT admin does this to reduce the number of prompts you receive. The permissions could be for things like the camera, microphone, and location. If your device is running Android 11, you'll receive a push notification when someone grants permission to an app.
114+
115+
### Network information
116+
Some information about network connections for Android devices may be available to your organization. For example, if your organization requires devices to remain within a certain building, your device would identify the network where it's connected.
