WF's employee privacy notice, revised June 2026, reserves the right to monitor email, chats, calls, video recordings, internet use, office access data, computer activity, and CCTV — and says AI may be used as part of monitoring.
In plain words: "You should not expect privacy," including on your own device under BYOD policies.
WF is also among banks trialing AI facial recognition to monitor employees and customers.

@dj doesn't make a difference. The container you let WF have on your phone is wholly contained to their services, so same situation.
Device tracking just seems like a given at this point. All of us have expansive consumer and employment profiles on us that are constantly being refined and connected to our personal devices and even some biomarkers. There’s no way for us to know how that information is being used by the people who contract/buy it unless we’re there to see it, and it’s impossible to opt out of them all unless you live in California. We can’t really do much to stop it without more robust privacy laws, and AI is moving faster than regulatory bodies are.
It’s BYOD, too. Not just company owned devices.
@d7 a republic is a type of democracy, you political illiterate.
@d4 No, we don't. We live in a constitutional republic.
You live in a democracy, you don’t work for one.
Why would anyone expect privacy on a work device? No wonder WF is still laying off mo--ns like you.
I've never expected privacy, for over 10 years, on a work device.
Shart following the herd. The problem is that unlike most others, HY will fail to leverage this for anything useful. They will waste a bunch of money on it though.
F Hells Fargo!
Your point? They are doing the same things as any other large corporation.
Expecting privacy on a corporate-owned device is ignorance.
