Help Office 365 has access to my phone data??

[tempsc]

Hi. Hope someone can help me with this query.

My employers have just migrated access to email via the cloud with MS Office 365. I have therefore had to set up MS exchange on my phone and was more than slightly alarmed that I had to agree to the administrators (by this I assume it's my employer) having access to all data on my phone and also having the abaility to erase all data and sdcard data etc on a remote basis.

I could change the password on the account but that would be pointless as I would have to register the same one on the cloud which of course they also have access to.

Is there a way to limit the extent they have access to everything on my phone, or can I just allow the access to my emails for example which would certainly be my preference? I've got nothing to hide but don't fancy the possibility of my employers being abe to read private texts, browse my photos etc.

Any solutions would be very gratefully received.

id be guessing they have that access for "rogue" employees who they find to be passing on company / sensitive info / no longer employed by the company and they don't want them having sensitive data so can wipe the phone and emails clean.

best option if they want you to access mail this way and want to have access to wipe the phone and sd card then they provide you with a company phone. if this is a company phone already then technically its their phone they can do as they wish with it and its contents.
